Help required! Poorly T6 in Devon [Resolved]

[CH1CKENSTEVENS]

Hi all, just driven to Devon for a week's holiday with the family and dog! All was fine at the start of the 3 hour journey from Oxford but when I came off the M5, I noticed a wooshing noise. Seems like a boost pipe has come away! I don't have any tools and would like to remove engine tray and maybe bumper to inspect. Hopefully it's just a hose come loose. I can't inspect it by noise when stationary as the rev limiter won't make boost! I am in Beer, near Sidmouth. Anyone willing to help me out pretty pretty please?

Van spec: T6, 2016, 204ps, dsg, 38k on the clock.

Engine start up

T Hi, sorry for the late reply. I am assuming that your T6 is a single turbo version. It is more likely to be the intercooler. If you look through the grills at the front, you should see two radiators. If you look at the one closet to the grill, you maybe able to see that the fins or structure...

No AA or RAC , Green Flag to back you up?

Without tools, ramp, and another car to go get parts you might be stuck.

Maybe get AA to fix or get you lifted to a local indy VW place or dealer for a fix?


Fyi we in South cost Devon ATM, but have no tools etc.

Keep us posted.

We thinking split boost hose?

Or popped off boost hose?

I had similar on an old BMW 530D,. .... Tried pipe tape and a couple of jubilee clips as a temp fix...... But the charge pressure was so high it just split the pipe, ..

The fix on that occasion was a replacement boost hose thanks to eBay.

I’m not local unfortunately but we stay in Seaton a lot next to Beer. If needed RPM motors I’ve used in the past been very good

I actually took the van there today! Hopefully they can sort it next week before we have to go home!

could be the charge air cooler on the top in that case, was there any oil residue on top of the engine, you can see the 2 hoses that go into and out of the cooler, black on front down to the throttle body and the red one at the back going onto the turbos.

did you take any photos?

 

[CH1CKENSTEVENS]

Could not find anything visible anywhere! RAC even took off engine tray for me and I took a look underneath but nothing! Only thing I have not done is remove the bumper. As I am holiday, I gave up and give it to the garage!

 

[CH1CKENSTEVENS]

Van now back on the road! It was the charge cooler intake pipe. The clip was not sat correctly on the underside! At least it wasn't anything major!

Thanks all
