Just spent half an hour getting the car up on stands and swapping boost hoses from the lower intercooler outlet on the S6 after it developed a massive split at the 3 counties run.A massive thanks to Kit who made the repair and to Royston for supplying the tape that make this forum such a great place to be thanks guys!
Anyway on removal i noticed some slight corrosion from the bottom alloy outlet (S4 being alloy rather than plastic S6 headers)a nice bonus there then, cleaned up all surfaces with meths and fitted the hose. Went for a drive and she flies again easily reaching 2.1 boost and felt very strong but i notice a slight hesitancy on a very light part throttle,other than that i reckon she boosts better than ever really strong but for a slight hesitancy on a very light part throttle. As i'm fairly newish, well only the last couple years to I5 turbos, i'm wondering if i have to reset the fault codes or could it be after that slow long drive back from Yorkshire the plugs may be fowled? Any suggestions anybody?
