Had a look under the bonnet for the alternator part # and while I was in there had a look around and noticed the EGR rubber pipe had cracked off, I pulled off the rubber bit that was still on the metal nose of the EGR and pushed the pipe back on.
Would this have damaged anything ?
Reduced power?
Would this also have caused the carbon build-up in my engine bay? 'cos it is FULL of carbon, you can wipe your finger over anywhere and it WILL be thick with black crap :grin: :lipsrsealed:
-
the collar shouldn't have separated from the rubber pipe
Would have caused loss of boost, power, and fuel economy and made that nice mess all over your engine :tongue:

Think I'm going to sling a jubilee clip over it 'just in case'.
That's probably why my MPG has been down on what others have reported... hopefully it'll go back up now!
