….up date.. few weeks ago after having a “good run out” could smell burning rubber soooo pulled over and when I lifted the bonnet there was smoke coming from under the heat shield where the turbo hose is covered I know they are prone to crack, so I slipped one end of the turbo hose off and had a look inside and well…. Well… well 2 quite big splits and the hose was covered in oil *will pictures later*

old standed style

sooo ordered a forge one looks like they are the only ones who doooo the type of hose part from a replacement from seat etc, fitted it bit of a pain 2doo as not much space 2 work but took it back out 4a spin….. Stopped 2 check it was all ok…. But could see black smoke coming out under the bonnet as I lifted it up small fire started. Same place *heat shield area*… very lucky I had my Extinguisher

I have taken the heat shield off and looks like that’s where it had stared burnt/black smoke it’s the one that covers the silicome hose that joins on 2the turbo looks like it was just socked in oil from the original split and socked up enough 2the point it could/did catch alight from a “good run out”.. .. have since taken all the bits i could off my car and can see nooo other damage or excesses oil anywhere and car still runs fine…. will be getting another Extinguisher be for doing another run out 2test it lol

Glad there's no damage and she's running ok.

Bloke I work with had a pug 205, and it caught fire one day when he was out. So he pulled into a petrol station to have a look:doh::doh:
