Mk1 Focus TDCi: Air intake pipe loose on turbo?
Hi there,
I believe the pipe from the air intake to the turbo has come loose.
My turbo has been replaced about 2 months ago after the old one
went, which used to make a loud whistling noise.
About a week ago, I noticed the car started whistling again when ever
I move off in gear 1 and 2, but not as loud as before. So I looked for split pipes/hoses and I could find much apart from the rubber hose on the intercooler (battery side) is quite oily. I also noticed that the pipe on the turbo (from air intake) seemed to be connected un-evenly and I am wondering if there should be some sort of clip to fill up the thin groove on the pipe.
Could somebody look at the picture below to confirm my diagnosis?
Thanks in advance!
