Out in my car earlier and noticed it isn't pulling smoothly under hard acceleration with what sounds like a judery misfire and boost on the RS monitor flickering up and down under full throttle. I looked under the bonnet and found a small hole around .5mm diameter on the pictured pipe?! Would this be the culprit? I attempted a temporary fix with an epoxy resin patch and a clamp which seeks to have gone some way to fix it however it is still judery... Does anyone know the part number and price for the pipe?
I could, or I could use an exhaust repair patch, I'm just a bit confused as to why the above fix hasn't worked. Any opinions as to if it was the source of the problem? I didn't think the pressures involved here would be that high?
Would seem something very wrong there to get a hole in a metal pipe. If you get stuck ill have one of these, give me a shout Could be wrong but I think the pipe comes as 1 bit from Renault for about £170?
So I have revealed it and it seems absolutely fine. I think the fact I was driving with the seats down for the first time compounded the problem as there is more noise and it seemed different. Would it be fair to say the exhaust noise on full boost isn't normally entirely consistent or smooth?
