Yet another split hose!
The 156 1.9jtd has been running a bit lumpy of late,
smoking quite a bit, and using More fuel. Today #1 son had a listen under the bonnet and located the induction noise as a split in the air intake hose into the top of the engine. Not costed it yet, but the last hose - intercooler, at the bottom of the engine, cost a ridiculous £75 for 18" of tube! I don't think the top hose is under as much pressure as the bottom hose, so hopefully my bicycle puncture repair patches reinforced with some rubber hose wrapped around and secured with tie wraps might serve for a while. -- Rob Pearson 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (now) 164 V6 Lusso (gone) |

Nope - sods law dictates that the split is on a bend in hose :^( > [1] I reversed into a wheelie bin. £360!!!!! I did that once! - smashed a mirror on the Galant. Only cost around a ton though. -- Rob Pearson 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (now) 164 V6 Lusso (gone) |
