Hi guys,

I got a EML on the dash, I haven't read the codes but a nose around reveals a split pipe on the right of the engine.

Can you tell me what the pipe is and would the split cause an EML and what effect it would have power wise?

The previous owner did point out a duct-tape repair on the top of the pipe but the major split is at a junction lower down. How difficult is it to change?

It's my first turbo...

It's part of the oil breather system, & yes split pipework can cause a fault codes.

Yeah causes rubbish running too

As said, part of the breather system. Smple enough to change.

 

Here's a schematic of the pipes showing the different parts. The ones you need are in light blue:

 

 

Think this is the part

Thanks. I need that pipe and the junction below.

Just ordered a silicone one that replaces both pipes and junction. http://www.creationsmotorsport.com/p...ail.php?pid=16

I think your main problem is that you have part of a hand trapped in there.
