FOCUS 1.8 TDCI - Blowing over 2000RPM

Morning Gents,

While in the wifes car yesterday I noticed an issue that makes air blow out of the vents (similar to having the fan on setting 2) when the car goes over 2,000 RPM.

Looking under the bonnet I found a split in this pipe as shown in the photo below.

From your experience, do you feel this would be the cause of the issue?

If so, can you advise what this pipe is called so I can obviously source a replacement please.

 

Thank you in advance

    Hi,

    Yeah, had the same thing on a 1.8 TDCi focus about 3 year ago. Under revs, sounded like air blowing, almost like through the car vents.

    Just need to replace that section of pipe (Intercooler pipe), which is fairly straight forward and the part relatively cheap, from what I remember.
