Hi there, i have a problem with sluggishness from the engine and think the pipe from the turbo is perished in some way? I have noticed too that the noise of air is much more high pitched under acceleration.
Is this common and how much of a bill am i looking at?
Cheers.

Just seen this so not sure if you've sorted it yet. My wife has a DCi 65, and today I've changed the pipe from the turbo to the inlet manifold as the old one had a small hole in it by the hose clip on the turbo end. Bad news is the new pipe is £107 + Vat (that was trade I think). It's been modified and the parts man said he's sold a few recently so it sounds like a common problem. If you do the cambelt change the water pump at the same time as they leak, did cambelt and pump as well today, what a fk of a job it is.
