Hi All,

Since Thursday I've had a problem of the engine making a "shhhhh" sound like a air leak, so checked all the boost pipes etc no leak found, the noise carried on to get louder.

Friday I booked the car to go into my mates garage for Tuesday .

Sunday the sound turned into a "shhhh" + a slight whistle.

Monday set off to work and the car turn into a tractor with about 20BHP lol

Tuesday took car into a local garage who do my servicing.

Tuesday afternoon problem found:

Between them two pieces there is meant to be a straight peice of pipe, that has blasted off with quite a clean cut! I'm not sure how much pipe there is meant to be between but still must take some force.

Total cost: £139 with fitting, Dealer part only.

When the garage ordered the part Skoda sent the wrong one, so another had to be ordered. The dealer said they are known to blow?

First I have heard about it tbh anyone else seen anything like it?

The pipe has somthing to do with either the EGR, Manifold or turbo not sure which bit connects where though.

Regards

Steve

Found the pipe, it lies under the rear air intake pipe and directly under the plastic EGR valve from there goes across the back of the engine to the metal part of the EGR.
