S40 V40: Sudden loss of power at high torque/RPM

[AAmbro]

Today's work in photos.

I am quite disappointed by design of the hose that costs 200€ (checked today at supplier).

The turbine metal pipe fits about 2.5cm inside hose. The hose clamp sits in very thin part of the whole hose which seems quite robust and thus making the narrow part more delicate and vulnerable.

I am going to try to put two hose clamps on. The second one will sit on the stronger part which is still around turbine metal pipe. I hope this will be a solution to the problem.

If it is, i will be happy, since i paid only 10€ for the hose because of damage

I wanted to check the EGR valve as well (Biotoxic's post), but couldn't get it off and the air intake manifold was quite dirty . This will have to wait a bit.

Will let you know if the car drives ok after a test ride (the "sealant" i have used has to dry for 12 hours)

I have tried to wiggle it and it is not loose at all, which i guess is good. It can spin freely.

Have done a test drive, everything seems to work ok!

I hope someone will find valuable information in this story.
