TD4 Random Flat spots & Black smoke

Chrissy Charles · Jul 10, 2009

This week driving into work when I noticed I was getting flat spots when accellerating with more than usuall black smoke until the turbo kicked in.

After looking under the Hood I noticed that the drivers side intercooler hose had a split near to the jubilee clip. A replacement part from my local dealer Brookwells Supplies costed £17.37 + VAT part number PNH000020

:fighting:

Thought I would post this for anyone else who finds they get the same symptoms.

if it's the long un, put a section of the old hose over the top at any places it might rub/chafe as it usually wears a hole through where it runs across the engine cover.

there is a thread and piccies by yours truly
