Coming late to the discussion... this happened twice with my 147 - both warranty replacements of the turbo hose due to crap design where it rubbed against main earth strap on engine and wore a hole after a few '000 miles! (they changed the pipe design when 2nd one was fitted) Yep it does turn heads, and if you're driving with the sun behind (or lights at night) the engine doesn't half belch out a lot more smoke than normal! Mine went the 2nd time on holiday so ended up driving as if the throttle pedal was made of egg shell! |

S'eggzactly what mine does - the smoke actually comes from the split in the inlet hose though! -- Rob Pearson 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (now) 164 V6 Lusso (gone) |

As an aside, I drove 400 miles back from holiday with it hissing and 20 second 0-60s!! Didn't do the car any harm though! |

Phones Stoneacre today to confirm the part had arrived before setting off to Doncaster. Yes, it had, but he then described it to me and it was not the part needed. After much faffing around he said the part was now £75 and would have to be ordered! So I called Chris Variera in Nottingham, who sent me screen-shots of their parts screen to confirm the part, which was wrong, so I photographed the offending item and email it to them, and Lo! yes, they have one in stock, only £70.16p! Anyway, now fitted and all fixed. The hose is actually to the intercooler! -- Rob Pearson 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (now) 164 V6 Lusso (gone) |
