Just had the 60 thou service done on my '07 FL2 and thought I'd share this. A few days before a new noise appears - a "whooshing" from the engine bay when under load, about the same duration as you'd expect the turbo to be doing it's thing.
As suspected, the guys at the garage found a split in the lower intercooler pipe set and said a replacement was needed. Searching forums, there's lots of similar about the FL1, not much on the FL2. Also, there wasn't any power loss, black smoke or other symptoms, apart from the noise.
£45 for a part 'seems' reasonable. What I didn't expect was the fact the bumper and headlights had to come off to get to it. Apparently, the jubilee clips are impossible to get a screwdriver too as they are all facing the wrong way!
Fair play, all done and now back on the road. Though it does seem like taking the back doors off to let the clutch out.
