Intercooler hose worn through
Lost all power today as the IC inlet hose rubbed through on the steering arm. This was fine after 12000km but has now gone at 26500km's Sad Spent 6 hours limping 210km back to somewhere I could get it fixed Sad Will post up pic's when I get a chance.

I think this issue has already been mentioned. 110 2.4TDCi

I'm wondering now if there are Silicon hoses available for the Puma or better yet a metal pipe. 110 2.4TDCi

Good job fixing the pipe, but there's a lot of rust on your car. Shocked

Should have mentioned the pic of the hose removed is taken with it sitting along side a chassis of a 1959 Ex Military Series II, hence the rust. My car's just covered in red dirt. 110 2.4TDCi

Thanks I'll do that when I get home in 6 weeks time. The sleaved metal pipe is working well for now but I wouldn't mind going to something stronger than the rubber hoses as I suspect they are a bit on the soft side for the pressure they are under . 110 2.4TDCi

21000 kms on our Puma so I decided to check the hose. There is a slight mark i.e. a clean piece on it just above the bolt on the coupling at the end of the steering column. So I guess there is contact there, though very slight. I raised it slightly with cable ties and put some black duck tape where the clean spot was. I would say that a couple of layers of duck tape should see you alright until there is a permanent fix for this.Personally I think that by slightly shortening the pipe at the end closest to the bulkhead, it should tighten it up and take the sag out of it. I will report this to the main dealer by e-mail and put it on the check list for the next service. If they say there is a replacement pipe I will post it here. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
