One was on the underside and the other on the left side, each were approximately 1 inch long. I found out the part number was I then had a problem, knowing it would take a few days to arrive and still needing to use the car. In a desperate bid to alleviate the symptoms in the interim I got two toilet rolls and cut them down one side vertically.
I places them over the holes and then proceeded to secure them in place with 4 cable ties. This was extremely effective and eventually the air leakage was stopped and the oil running through the pipe helped to seal the splits like a blood clot when you cut yourself. This was how it looked:. Then the part arrived today. So I parked the car half on the kerb to give myself space and got under the car, removed the torx screws from the the two pieces of plastic panels which protect the front end underside of the car.
With the plastic out of the way, I could see where the hose connected using a smaller jubilee clip and loosened this.
I then went at the top jubilee clip and loosened that. After this, it was just a case of loosening the pipe from the top and bottom and then taking it out.
The new one went on easily, and I just used the original jubilee clips to secure it in place of the original. The top jubilee clamp needs to be forcibly removed from the original hose, which it is secured to using metal teeth.
Just make sure you put the jubilee clips on the right way round, as they were originally so that you can tighten them back up properly.
Then you just have to put the plastic panels back on. Luv it when someone gets a bit of luck for a change. You can post now and register later.

In a suitable gear 4th 30mph it used to pull fine from there if a little slow before the turbo kicked in. Assuming I'm not going uphill when this is happening the turbo will eventually kick in at around rpm.
Still pulls very strongly which I assume is a good sign Took it to my local garage who said it's fine and they can find no fault with it - I suspect they merely plugged in the computer and read the fault codes which were empty. Some googling suggested either a blocked EGR valve or a split turbo hose but short of dismantling the engine I can't seem to work out a solid way to work out which it is. Any pointers? Is it using any oil? Well, the EGR valve is on the front left of the engine, and requires a couple of sockets and a screwdriver to undo the jubilee clip.
I cleaned mine out last week and it took about half an hour in total. Really easy to do. Jaskaran Gangster Joined: 19 Jan Posts: Had this problem on my brother's Corsa 1. So just got it replaced and it runs fine now. Sounds like an air intake issue to me. Whip the EGR valve off and give it a good clean. As said above, front left of the engine, remove the jubilee clip for the intake pipe, 2 nuts for the exhaust pipe to remove on the right, and a couple of nuts holding the valve to the engine.
Wear gloves and get some decent solvent to clean it. I do have a lovely bright blue hose in its place! Below shows the size of the tear! This topic has 37 replies, 19 voices, and was last updated 8 years ago by cardiff.
