Apologies if this has been asked multiple time, I tried a quick search but am fishing in the dark a bit.

 

Car is in for an MOT and they’ve discovered the turbo boost pipe is split on my 54 plate mondeo estate (TDCI 130).

 

They want to order the ford replacement but that’s over £150. 
 

I can see lots of recommendations for intercooler pipes etc but I just don’t know whats right from wrong.

 

Can anyone advise me please. 
 

I don’t need the car so can wait for parts to be delivered but the garage would like to order from Ford today...

 

Thanks in advance

Sorry to say the garage needed an answer so I’ve had to go ahead and get the part from Ford but if there’s a better option, please feel free to add it if it helps others.

any silicone intercooler to egr hose from ebay would work, their only a tenner and youll most likely never having to worry about it splitting again, the standard ford hoses are bad for splitting and to charge 150 for one is daylight robbery

I'm sorry you ran out of time but as above I had the same hose split (as many others have) and a silicone replacement is around £10-£15 and very simple to fit.

I can only feel sorry for you and how you've been robbed like that

However, look how long the Ford original part has lasted, 16 years? and you've now got a 12 month mot, AND another mk3 is still on the road 👍

who said it was the original? its probably been burst and replaced at least 3 times in the past

If you need one in a rush i have a used one you can have.

 

Swapped for a silicone one.  they will all be much of a muchness. Although the garage

may find a silicone one a little harder to fit to avoid kinks.
