Here is a strange thing.
Has anyone had an intercooler hose blow off its housing.
I have it happen twice on my diesel Croma 1.9 8v this week. The first time I called the RAC out as it was virtually impossible to drive and I had no idea what the problem was. The RAC mechanic found the hose just hanging off its housing so he reconnected it using the same jubilee clip and everything seemed ok. The following morning going to work after about only 4 miles after the RAC man carried out the repair it happened again. Just managed to get to work, lifted the bonnet and sure enough the hose was off again. I fixed it back making sure the jubillee clip was holding tight and everything seems to be ok now with the exception that the car does not seem quite right in that I feel that should I accelerate with any aggression the hose will fly off again.
Anyone experienced this or have any ideas what could be happening.
