could it be turbo actuator? Thought i read they can give bother, as in sticking/faulty. |

I was getting a sticking actuator drivers side (the small turbo ) but drowned that in oil and it’s been ok for 6 months

On a TDV8 the turbos are the same size on each side, each runs a single bank although there is a link between the intake manifolds to allow for balancing. The driver's side one seems to be the more problematic, presumably because the crankcase breather system vents its gases in to the RHS turbo intake pipe. Also, the RHS turbo has a few more bits around it (starter, steering column) so presumably has slightly less cooling air flow. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Was it one of the top hoses that look relatively easy to change? I’m tempted to replace both of mine before they decide to fail on me. Call it preventative maintenance, for the sake of £50 or so quid it’s worth it to eliminate a potential inconvenience. |

The top hoses are a 5 minute job and well worth doing if yours are several years old. They seem to fail out of the blue. My TDV8 split a hose on the commute home one Friday evening. Suddenly noted a slight drop in "go" and much clouding of the rear view. Easy to source and replace. Worth doing on yours, I'm sure. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I bought a set of Silicone Hoses from here (towards bottom of page), never actually got around to fitting them though, but quality certainly looked o.k. I think they were around £100.00 for set of six hoses but did included full set of stainless steel clips.

Have ordered genuine parts. There are plenty of aftermarket hoses available that save about £20 but I don’t trust Sh*tpart products. Buy cheap buy twice as someone once told me. |

Hoses arrived today and fitted, just in time as it turns out. Evidence of a leak and signs the right hose was about to go pop. Now I’ve compared to the new pipes, I can clearly see why these would fail. The rubber on the old pipes very brittle and hard and as one end is fixed to the intercooler and the other on the engine, movement of the engine under load on its mounts would eventually cause the pipes to break.

Good info Nige. Perhaps I’d better look at mine as presumably they’re 10 years old now...

New hoses are soft and squidgy Eaters, if the ones on your car feel very hard when you squeeze them ( ) then they’ll probably be old.
