Help needed! Broken down in 35C France... Turbocharger maybe??

[YoungDave]

Hi Fun,

Hoping you can help get me out of this one!!

Merrily driving along when we hear a bang/pop, followed by maybe a bit of a whoosh. The van drives, but there is no kick when I put my foot down.

Pulled over and can see the hose marked in red - which feeds into the component marked in blue - is loose. Perhaps this is the problem?

I have tried to ascertain where this 1 ft of hose should be hooked into for 30 mins with no avail.

Any help as to where this should go - as well as if this is likely to be one and the same with the drive problem, would be hugely appreciated!!!

 

[icantremember]

Is that hose not a crankcase breather?

 

[Daniel. M]

Might be an inter cooler pipe

 

[YoungDave]

Hi @icantemember - it may well be - I unfortunately am not as mechanically minded as I should be... Would that make sense given the context of the issue.

Sincerely grateful,
Dave

 

[YoungDave]

Thanks Daniel. M - the next challenge really is working out where it should attach to...

Any ideas?

What van is it..?

 

[YoungDave]

If it helps at all the tube is rubber/similar

 

[YoungDave]

Just smiffy a 1995 hymer on a 2.5td Ducato same as the Talbot express I understand

 

[Daniel. M]

If it's an intercooler pipe, it should attach to a radiator type thing at the front by the grille, or link back towards the inlet manifold

Sorry, I'm no expert either ... it was the first thing I thought of, probably wrongly, but good luck with it.

Okay thanks anyway icantremember !

Where are you in France ? Might be a Funster nearby or someone who can recommend a garage.

 

[denisejoe]

wrong again if it attached to inlet manifold would explain lack of power

is there any noise like a roar of air

 

[Just smiffy]

I found this ..

Looks like a crankcase breather if so it will either go to a condenser/separator or air intake.

 

[Just smiffy]

Is it this pipe in red..?

 

[YoungDave]

denisejoe thanks - there is no roar/rush when driving although I was taking it easy...

Hollyberry here I am (photo)

Just smiffy I think that's the right hose yes - but can't see what it would attach to (photo)

 

[YoungDave]

Steve and Denise thanks for that I'll take a look

 

[YoungDave]

Just smiffy think the engine layout is slightly different maybe - although j could be being stupid

YoungDave can you do a picture looking up from the floor into engine bay ??
Daniel.

 

[YoungDave]

So pretty sure that is the right hose. The black box the hose plugs into (in Just smiffy 's photo) is however obscured behind the component marked in blue - I can't get behind there.

What I think is the place it needs to attach to is marked in red...

 

[YoungDave]

Yep danielf here a couple of shots

 

[YoungDave]

Thanks everyone I really appreciate it...!!!

 

[pappajohn]

Another for crankcase breather.
It could well be affecting the EGR unit which will possibly put the engine in limp mode..... Poor acceleration and reduced power.

That is definitely a breather. It looks like to the black box on right of engine is where it should be. It looks too small to be a turbo pipe. Can’t see much more sorry !

Far too small for an intercooler pipe.
Chances are at 25 years old it doesn't even have a turbo.

 

[Lenny HB]

This any help.

 

[gus-lopez]

is however obscured behind the component marked in blue - I can't get behind there.

That appears to be the starter motor¿

 

[YoungDave]

Feel like I'm getting warmer... Thanks all useful diagram Lenny HB just can't see / feel that thing to connect it to!
