I've now replaced from the pump to the turbo solenoid with 4mm ID silicon hose. That's a straight pipe with no T piece or joins.
(I'm not using the engine mounts at present)
The original rigid plastic pipe to the turbo is bodged at the solenoid end by fitting a pipe over it to join.
I wanted to replace but I can't get to the turbo.
I didn't want to pull the pipe off as seems I can't see it I was scared I wouldn't be able to get the new silicon pipe on.
Any one done this. Do I need to remove the turbo?
I have routed the rigid pipe round the side of the engine just above the gearbox. It was going over the engine with the pcv pipe.
The problem I have is under heavy accelerating. Around 3k revs, maybe a bit higher. I lose power. It goes really flat.
I have a code on Vida to say there is a vacuum leak.
Is it possible it could also be the vacuum pump or a faulty turbo solenoid? Does anyone know how to check these.
I am going to buy a vacuum tester so I can check the pipe going to the turbo.
Under normal driving it seems fine.
It's just had a full service done by me.
All filters (except fuel(wrong one supplied)) will be done soon
New oil and just had a coolant change
Thanks
