So jump in the car at 6am to drive 2.5hrs to Cornwall to help my brother move house and 3 mins into the journey I get the the joyful sound of the double bongs.

This time it was the smaller 90 degree hose, shown in the yellow box bellow, thankfully crawled the car back home and found the culprit and wrapped the hose:



Anybody know the part number for it please. Struggling to find a parts diagram.

I've already had two main charge air to intercooler hoses split this year, anymore that I should just change to save any more early morning swearing sessions.

Never had a car throw a single hose before, let alone 3 in a year! Current cars:

hell looks like hose city in there

I replaced both of those on our 3.6 tdv8 a couple of weeks ago. 1 had split & was losing boost & causing lots of black fuel smoke on acceleration.
I found the hoses a pig to get on & off as the "flexible" bit between the 2 end spigots is so short.
While the new hose was cold I was making no progress installing, but then thought of using a hair dryer to warm it up & make it a lot softer. Much faster then to get one end on & twist the hose enough to get the other end on & then twist it straight again.
Good luck with yours. Paul,
