Hi all!

So I replaced my intercooler pipe that had split with a silicone one from Britpart.

Fast forward a few months later and this also has become damaged, any high revs and I get a MAF error and I can see damage on the pipe:




This has lead me to believe that as I can see through the black portion of my top engine mount that it needs replacing, I'm currently waiting on this from eBay.

But I've also realised this could also be the lower mounts that are in the same state. Would this make sense to be the cause of why the crankshaft would be rubbing against the pipe at times?

Thanks

I'm thinking the lower tie bar bush has failed. The lower tie bar is at the back of the engine, below the turbo. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

I had the same problem, it was cured by just fitting a new lower engine mount
