How to fix a boost leak on Vauxhall insignia turbo pipe

[@liamfox3332]

Thankyou so much mine kept going into limp mode under acceleration after I watched this video I looked at the pipe and straight away seen a split

[@connorp1513]

Very grateful you put this up mate, nice and clear. Allowed us to 'fix' the pipe whilst stranded in Dunkirk enroute to Switzerland towing a trailer. Did the same sort of fix but with an extra 'seal' in the style of a bicycle intube puncture repair, with some hose clips over the top and plenty of Gaffa tape it held out well for the 1600 miles we put on it in a week towing up and down alpine passes. Without this we might've been scuppered and lost the holiday. Cheers!

Seb just used this and changed the pipe on mine really easy to do that k to your video you have saved me alot of stress and worry tha k you. Your description really helped

[@mateuspab]

Thanks for the description, same happen to me... car overtaking and... pluff... the power stop... Thanks

[@SuperDixxxie]

Great video mate. Mine has gone into limp mode on way to work and a service car soon message came on, checked that pipe and there's oil all round the top of it at the back. Couldn't feel a split at First but pretty sure I can on second feel, many thanks again.

[@twincam24v]

Great video mate, thanks a lot! Anyone know how to get the grill off?

[@MrBaltoaca]

Thanks mate, saved me a bunch of money!

[@Matt_Aquila]

So I tried reusing the clip with the flattening technique at 3:55 but it just tore itself apart when attempting to re-tighten. For the sake of a couple quid it's better to ditch it and replace it with a much stronger jubilee clip.

[@kamranhashmi1575]

What are the symptoms, do have low mpg?

[@chipsmcgee]

great tutorial, best one I've found so far. I do have a problem though and I hope you can help, I followed you're steps and removed the split pipe and replaced it with the new one, unfortunately it hasn't rectified the problem. I have noticed that I get the service vehicle soon prompt on my dash by turning the ignition on but not starting the car, I would have though the engine would need to be running for the alarm to show? anyways if you have any ideas it would be appreciated !!!!

[@MrLipynho]

I had this issue less than an year ago, replaced the hose, job done. Yesterday I've removed the egr and egr pipe to clean (as I've done before twice) put everything together, go for a drive and now I'm getting this error! Don't want to believe it's the hose again, there's no oil on the pipe also. Any ideas?

[@james8833]

I cant get the jubilee clip that sits in the grooves and connects the elbow to the other pipe back on its doing ny head in haha

[@jasoncrittenden3548]

Thanks mate your videos are really great help I subscribed

[@davidhargreavesbuddy7415]

It is P2282

[@BeavistheLizard]

Cheers for this, sadly hasn't fixed the issue for me :( There was oil all over the outside of the old pipe, but once it was off I couldn't find a crack.. new one is on now. I also changed the turbo control valve solenoid thingy on the front cross member. But no good... Im stumped. I did see someone saying a low battery can cause issues... but that feels more like a myth! grrr

[@wayneburrows9202]

What was the problem I'm in same boat as u

[@BeavistheLizard]

​@@wayneburrows9202 Sad to say I gave up and sold the car Spares or repairs.
My next move would have been a 2nd hand turbo.
threw too much time and parts at it already. - Good luck!

[@wayneburrows9202]

Apparently there is something called the vacuum valve solenoid similar to the boost control solenoid and doesn't throw any codes when gone and causes same problems waiting on 1 to come to see if its that 🤞

[@guinefortCH]

On the Astra 2011 1.7 CDTI it‘s on the left side, I think, right? I have one drop loss of black oil every day and there is a big pipe down there that seems to be oily.

[@mjxfusionz7807]

Guinefort yes I have this same problem, feels like I have no turbo did you find out what was wrong?

[@guinefortCH]

MJ x FUSIONZ Yes, it was just turbo oil that accumulated in the turbo pipe and then it began to leak out. A little bit turbo oil loss with the time is normal, I was told, and then it sneaks down there where it accumulates and later leaks out, depending on how much oil there is and how tight the pipe is fixed. He emptied and cleaned the pipe and that was it. I had no problem with the turbo and no more oil leaking out the pipe. Unfortunately that car got destroyed in an accident last september with about 150‘000 km or so - so I can‘t give you more updates about any further development in that matter.
Why do you think you have no turbo?

[@mjxfusionz7807]

Guinefort I’m sorry to hear that hope your okay, did it seem to perform better after this?

[@guinefortCH]

@@mjxfusionz7807 Yes, it was nothing critical but it still damaged the car to write-off. I had no performance problem at all and did not notice any change in performance after the emptying. Maybe the turbo in your car just needs to be replaced.

[@seanwallace1972]

What year and model is this on please

[@wray109]

Spot on thank you

[@walterdrexel2045]

Does this also go for the Combo (Combo C 1.3cdti) ? It has similar hoses. I have a wooshing air leak sound under trottle and load, but could not find any obvious cracks in any of the 3 hoses i have identified on the HP side of the turbo

[@simbachauhan984]

Real good vid mate ! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@seanwallace1972]

The metal hook over clip thing cannyouvrrplacecthatcwith jubilee clip?

[@MrMajjido]

Excellent tutorial mate, just one question...could I use a jubilee clip instead of trying to use the old clip on the pipe?

[@plumbteam]

MrMajjido I don’t see why not

[@MattLockhart81]

That's exactly what I've just done with mine. Was hard enough getting the original clip off, never mind trying to get it back on to a newer, less compressed hose haha.

[@MattLockhart81]

john hughes I can't remember. I just took the new hose into the whole with me lol.

[@uxoy9876]

mine is not gojing to limp mode but when i drive faster is making fluffer noise and is not good filling pls help i dont no what is it

[@Inquisitive37]

I wish u can do my car. This has been going for months with my car. Where are you based

[@sstevensuperbike9964]

Hi what if you have fog light like on mine? Do you come out easy

[@scott-em5bi]

Great video why barefoot 😂😂

[@Jelly-Mack]

Spent all his money on new pipe 😂😂😂 thx tho x

[@monsterp1970]

Mine is leaking from one of the small "lug" holes in the metal clip at the top end, on the back. The hose itself seems to be sound. No idea why the clip is leaking oil. I'm not losing boost, or other issues, just spotted a drip of oil on the drive.... aagghh.
I must admit, I don't understand why there is oil running through this pipe.

[@plumbteam]

Turbo always leaks

[@floprob21]

Hi took mine off no leaks anywhere pipe sound, any idea what else this could be?

[@AKMCars]

Maf reads 20grams air on idle. Whats happening?

[@dandandanington]

Do you have a part number for that pipe?

[@si4632]

yes im hoping this is the fault on my 1.3cdti used to get a hissing sound now thats gone the turbo not working at all. No smoke no limp mode just under powered got a 0107 map sensor boost error code

[@DeAtHaToMiC88]

Sounds like the boost sensor thats at fault here.

[@teem5642]

Did you manage to sort it out? Iv checked the egr, actuator selonoid, turbo actuator ascmd all seem well. Iv however noticed oil on the inlet pipe to the intercooler, and the pipe moves too freely. Also got a 1.3 diesel. Will be getting to work on it tomorrow

[@teem5642]

No fault code too, just a spanner on my dash

[@si4632]

@@teem5642 yep its was the boost pipe 3mm that runs to a reservoir on the back of the bulk head i just bought a bit of rubber pipe from halfords

[@si4632]

cut the split out and joined it up with the thicker pipe i bought £5 fix

[@giovannibernal9542]

Does this make the car smoke from the exhust

[@BlackBullPistol]

Yes it does. I have a Peugeot 406 2.0HDi and the Intercooler Turbo hose has few long cracks and therefore my car produces excessive black smoke. I found the faulty pipe with a homemade smoking device

[@floprob21]

Hi took mine off no leaks anywhere pipe sound, any idea what else this could be?

[@plumbteam]

Blown intercooler?

[@swoogles4093]

Can this cause an overboost code?

[@philscat05]

I had a split in my pipe,changed it but its still in limp mode do I need to get the code deleted or could it be something else?

[@teem5642]

Most likely

[@bradleyjames1022]

Where can I buy one of these pipes

[@ItsRyson]

Autovaux

[@afterburner3999]

Where's your shoes man?

It’s summer!

[@stuartthomas3105]

Don't do this, doesn't last long. Best to fully replace.
