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]

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.

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

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

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
