Possible split induction pipe?

reggit · Dec 3rd, 2020, 09:20

Hi oh knowledgeable folk,

I’m suspecting that I’ve got a split intake pipe somewhere near the turbos on my E5 D5 (170k miles on a 2010MY V70). My fuel economy is pants, and I can hear a turbo whistle when driving with the window down - so a pointer to attention needed somewhere imo.

Are these engines known to have a weak pipe in this area as they age (as the P2 does)? Asking on here as for the life of me I can’t work out how to get down the back of the engine to pull the pipes off for inspection.

Cheers

Mine was whistling then blew the Orange coloured seal out on the join between pipes at the back of the engine and went into limp mode.

Bit fiddly to put back. It's a jack car up, under tray off, lie on your back, hand up the back job.

On mine the clamp has backed off twice now despite being well tightened.

Not necessarily what's happening to yours but worth a look.
