How many miles has it done ? Jules

Mine went other month, same as you, just a whoosh noise but no lack of power or engine lights, few £ for new silicone hose from ebay, problem sorted, local LR independent parts firm wanted £70+ vat for full hose set saying the small hose that split wasn't available separate..

good stuff, easy job to do but surprisingly fiddly with it being quite tight, fan housing tends dig in arms.

Any links to the eBay part? Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

And the job is done....

A quik tip the metal work in front of the engine catches you on the upper under arm a few lengths of masking tape on the body work dulls the edge some what....

the woooosh has gone and it feels like were back to full power .....HAPPY DAY'S.... 2011 SD4 XS

glad its sorted, like I said easy job but the fan/ metal work does catch the arms, good idea putting some tape on it.

Strangely, our old neighbours Daughter and family popped down last year for a week in the holiday place and upon arriving the husband (not techie, but bloody good hair colourist apparently....whatever that Is? ) they were given her Dads old FL2 and he complained the funny noises it was making and lack of power going up our hills......I suggested it might be a turbo hose popped off or something (too old and wise to look myself anymore ) and he took it to our local “rusty nails” garage up the road, they order anew turbo pipe and fixed it the next day at all in cost of about £70 which I thought was good value at a garage.

Glad I’ve no turbo on our FL  Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Driving home with windows open yesterday and "WOOOOSSSHHHH!Wahwahwahwah" on the turbo boost. Knew first place to look - thanks chaps.
