EGR rubber pipe...

[Jay]

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

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

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!

Yep nice jubilee clip should do the job

And it will go back up
