2.2 HDi puzzler.

Post by RooHDiExec »

Whilst under the 406 doing an oil change, I noticed the hard plastic intercooler pipe wasn't fixed via its two fixing points. Subsequently it was rubbing against the subframe. Not ideal.
Removing the assocoated hoses and fixing the hard plastic pipe where it should be, I can no longer align the top rubber hose.
So the question is, what's wrong here? I can fit isn't all back without fixing the hard plastic pipe but it's obviously not right.
Hopefully the pictures help explain.

I'm seeing scuff marks on the sump, is something bent? Or maybe it's been dangling about for so long the plastic is distorted :?

I would carefully examine the upper engine mounts especially the one above the gearbox as it looks like the engine has settled down on that side from the pics of the misalignment of the turbo piping. Also check the upper and lower anti tip mountings as these often fracture allowing the motor to tip away from its designed vertical alignment.

Thinking about it, try jacking the motor/gearbox up under the end of the gearbox and see if this pulls the piping back towards aligning.

Thanks for the advice, will take a look tomorrow when it's hopefully not raining like it was today!

The marks are what happens when you live in the fens! The roads are unbelievably bumpy. The pipe was/is largely out of the way and is hard plastic so would break rather than distort.
