RobbieR Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Brought the car into the dealership for some unrelated maintenance items. The tech discovered that a garden hose has been placed on the turbo inlet tube and said it was "oil soaked". I bought this car used, so it had to be the PO or shady mechanic that did this. Currently has 85k miles. I'm going to get under the hood tomorrow and try to verify. Obviously, this needs to be replaced eventually. Has anyone heard of this?

RobbieR Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Update... Alright. Got under the hood and poked around. It's NOT the oil inlet tube to the turbo. That is OEM. It's the oil supply hose that runs on top of the intake that runs from one side of the engine block to the other. It's about a 12 inch section. It also has an OEM tee connector with a 5 inch section that looks like it's going into the intake, but not sure. Both sections are red and resemble a garden hose in construction and are located on top of the intake at the bottom of the intercooler, if that makes sense. However, after reading NAPA on the underside of one hose, I think it's safe to say it's not the garden variety. I'll take some photos tomorrow for ya'll to see what I have.

JmP6889928 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Heater hose. Not the correct application for it, but I would bet that it's heater hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobshane Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah there is green and red heater hoses out there, but like mentioned it will swell as its not made for crank case ventilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
