Ford Focus Diesel turbo air intake hose split

    I have a 1.6L Ford focus diesel (Duratorq 90bhp, 1560cc) 2009 model. The rubber pipe connecting the air filter to the turbo intake has split. Probably caused by garage changing the oil filter which is awkwardly located. Local ford dealer was looking for €120 for this!! They must be joking. I did a temporary repair with silver tape and cable ties which is holding well for now. Does anybody know where I can get a reasonably priced replacement?
    Also, are there are any other known problems with this car that I should look out for?

    Aftermarket versions of the pipe are available for approximately half the price of the genuine Ford part.

    Yeah you have to buy the full unit, not just the part you need! DPF is a pure shambles in these cars although you say your one is 90bhp so I don't think you have one, turbo failure is another problem, regular service's will help. I had a 2006 1.6 tdci 110bhp and it brole my heart, egr replacment (450 euro) , fluid and kit for the DPF 150 euro, throttle position sensor 100 euro and a turbo that was on the way out, with a car that had only 73k Miles!

    This is a common fault with mk2 focus. The 1.6 tdci or also known as the peugeot/ citroen hdi are renowed for there faults. Especially turbo related issuse. So heres a few things to do. Replace the injector seal. As these let in small amounts of carbon which mix with the oil and thicken the oil. This blocks the the tiny gauze filter for the turbo oil feed pipe casusing failure and in a lot of cases a new engine as steel filings get sucked into the cylinders. Now heres your soloution. First. Change oil and filters every 6k.and use a good brand 5w30 or 0w30. Second. Disconnect the oil feed pipe at the turbo. ( its a small pipe going to the bottom of the block) when this is out. Remove the gauze from from the banjo joint and bother replacing it. And every 15-20k take the sump of and replace the oil lift pump gauze.
