Hi all,

My 2003 TDCI Fiesta blew a massive hole in it's turbo pipe (it's the pipe that comes from the turbo and goes to left hand side of the engine cover).

One garage have told me that after connecting up their computer it told them that the EGR valve is not working.

Another garage have physically inspected the EGR valve and have said that there was only a small amount of carbon build up on the valve and that the internals of the value appeared to be working fine.

My questions are:-

1. What could cause the turbo pipe to blow, I imagine pressure build up from somewhere?

2. Could a faulty EGR value cause the turbo pipe to fail?

3. When the turbo pipe blew could this have caused the fault code for the EGR valve to fire?

Not having a good week with the car, it has got a new tire, two front shocks, front springs, top mounts, a wheel hub, wheel bearing, CV joint and turbo pipe

Any help much appreciated,
Thanks
