Intake Hose - squashed end

[AwesomeRob]

So I'm getting the Turbo sorted next week and I'm changing the Oil Feed Pipe.

A Peugeot part is around £75 + VAT. Should I stick with this or does anyone know if any uprated versions exist or are the cheap one's off ebay for £25 any good?

I found this and hopefully it does what it says:

Turbo Oil Feed Line Kit Peugeot 207 308 508 3008 5008 RCZ 1.6THP 16V K

The stock line has an o-ring seal that allows adjustment in both directions. After hundreds of heat cycles, the o-ring cooks itself and starts to leak oil onto the turbo. This braided oil feed line kit fits the Peugeot 207 308 508 3008 5008 RCZ Turbo 1.6THP 16V EP6DT, EP6DTS, EP6CDT, EP6CDTX

Good choice far superior to the original which has the horrendous O ring seals which perish over time

I now find out today that the garage I have my car booked in with to replace the turbo don't want to do it if it's not new.

I'm pretty sure brand new turbo's for this car no longer exist so now have to find another garage.

Guess their reluctant to guarantee any parts/labour charges unless its all done inhouse?
Turbos should be available as there are so many different companies supplying the markets

 

[AwesomeRob]

Not so much all in-house. Just wanted me to supply a brand new turbo.

I suppose I could have just stated it is new. By looking at it there's no way to tell as the refurb job looks rather good.

Looks like all issues are fixed by replacing the Turbo and Intake Hose.

The mechanic told me that the faulty turbo doesn't look like an original so my guess would be that the garage that sold me the car put a dodgy turbo on it.
