simcor Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 That is the turbo inter cooler pipe I would imagine you will be getting smoke as well. It will also be down on power. You need to replace it ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clair9kids Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 ive found this would this be the correct hose i would need http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-II-1-6-TDCi-2004-11-Air-Filter-Intake-Hose-Pipe-1336611-3M519A673MG-/221895539612?hash=item33aa013b9c thanks clair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcor Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Oopsie yes sorry it is the air filter to turbo pipe. Was posting quickly between work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyducati Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yep! Turbo boost pipe, NEEDS replacing NOW, this damage is caused by a bad mechanic stressing the pipe during the slightly awkward airbox removal needed during a oil filter change! Fix asap to avoid financial pain! Get a new mechanic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_bound Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The plastic bit which clips that end of the pipe onto the engine block seem to snap easily - mine is currently held on using cable ties. I've never seen one with the end nearly torn off though, someone must have pulled and twisted that really hard for it to happen! I don't know if its possible to buy just the plastic end bit which is held to the rest of the pipe with a metal band or jubilee clip.

iantt Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Its not a turbo boost pipe either, the eBay item you linked to is for earlier 1.6 , depending on when the build date is on your, that pipe is for build date up to jan 08, so assuming yours is 2009 then it wont fit. Has yours got round or square air filter? Seen pipes deterioate there before, combination of breather residue and being rough when doing oil filter.
