hi all, replaced up pipe gasket today and discovered that the jubalee clip has worn the rubber thin as it connects to the turbo and i think it has a slight tear in it any way need to replace it just dont know how to seen as it dont seam to want to just pull out from under intake manifold
any advise would be great

 

Andy those things seem to cook themselves on. I had to use screwdrivers around the bottom of it to force it off. Although the turbo was off it still took me over 10 mins to remove.

Good Luck

 

hi mate. i can get it off the housing i just need to replace the large pipe itself with a samco one as am sure there is a small rip as mine looks to have cook itself into rubber mush. cant seam to get it out from under inlet manifold
cheers.....

 

Remove the inlet manifold. Even if you can get the old one out, which is just possible by smashing off the sticking out bits, you won't get the new one in.

Although I've had the inlet manifold off a couple of times before, this time when I found a leak in the same place as you, I couldn't bear the thought of taking it all off again. So I simply cut the rubbery section of the pipe back an inch or two, back to where it turns into hard plastic. I then sleeved this over with a piece of silicone coupling hose and it definitely works.

If you're planning on a Samco hose, people do say it can be done by pushing it through, but I personally would remove the manifold.

 

The samco one does squeeze though with a bit of effort.

On the plus side if you do decide to remove the inlet manifold might as well put some spacers on it.

 

cheers for advise i think il have a go repairing like you have discribed just so little space to do it in. then il just try breaking it out and squashing a samco type in annoying really as i was wanting to change tmic y hose but that will have to wait

 

I have not got one out without breaking bits of but the silicon replacement will go in without lifting the manifold.

 

What will the spacers do?

 

^^^^ i was wondering that too what do the spacers do
