Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 2, 2006 Running a '91 G60 Ive noticed that that is some oil round the join between the harder plastic pipe and the rubber one coming from the throttle body. Where the jubilee clip holds them together. Is this right? I was driving down A1 once when i heard a pop but car didnt feel too bad. It was the pipe that had come away from each other. (didnt notice i wasnt getting any boost, car felt normal). When id got my car back from having charger rebuild. The garge that took charger out and back in, failed to tighten the jubilee clip. I noticed there were traces of oil around the pipe. Should there be oil in that pipe. It leads to the intercooler doesnt it? That cant be good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted January 2, 2006 There should have been a massive loss of power if that 90 degree pipe coes off!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 2, 2006 There possibly was but it happened awhile ago and the memory is vague. Yeah it scared me sh*tless too. Its visible when the pipes are attached and tightened together correctly. Not just when the pipes are seperate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
