I've been hearing bad things about these clamps leaking.........my car has only been hunting at tickover since fitting these so i'm wondering if it could be caused by my mikalor clamps leaking ????

I've also just had my turbo rebuilt and Vince did ask my if i had any hoses come off because the blades looked worn usually caused by overboost

Again could Mikalor clamps be to blame?

 

what are they?

I'm sure i got the old ones so i'll get em off and try that.

They are ok for the water hoses though i take it?

 

oh, i know now

i jus call them fancy jubilee clips

 

i didnt link you as i saw you had already replied to it.

a couple of good links within that thread.

i think you should be ok with the water hoses - handy thing with it being water is you will see if you are leaking.

 

mikalors are great for exhaust clamps never used them for anything else

 

i put some on my old escort but when i took it for mapping karl removed them cos they kept blowing off

they were a bit big tbh around the inlet side cos of the swedish plenum
