sean92 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi, My 2006 1.6tdci Focus' turbo recently failed, and I have replaced the cartridge within the turbo and have cleaned up the veins also, this part seems to be working fine. But the car is still not performing correct and their is notable power loss still, after inspection we noticed that one off the intercooler pipes had a hole in it, see attached photo should replacing this pipe solve my problem, and also cannot see any of these pipes online, any ideas where to source one [3M51 6C646 W] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurcayy Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I cannot see any photo, but yes, a hole in any turbo pipe would cause notable power loss. The Common rail system is working uder huge pressure and any hole could cause problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean92 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks for the reply gurcayy, sorry I though the picture was in post see below or (http://www.so92.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/photo.jpg) can this pipe be plastic welded or should i get a replacement, roughly how much would one cost Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurcayy Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I dont'k know the price, but I am sure it won't be cheap as all of the other turbo pipes. You can search it on eBay or your local car salvage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEADS Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 At a rough guess around £80 if I remember correctly when I priced a similar one for my 2.0l if you decide to go ahead and purchase all I needed was the two rubber seals on the end I,ll buy the old ones off you if you buy new.as you can't get them separately Robbin sods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
