Hello fellow members
I have a 55 plate clk 270 cdi & I am about to replace my 2nd rubber turbo intake hose ( the one at the top on the right hand side looking into the bonnet) it runs down to a plastic joint piece & below that is another rubber hose that may go to the intercooler under the main radiator. Is this a common fault with this model ? I realise the car is 11 years old so they are lasting approx. 5 years but I had BMW'S for 20 years prior & never had I turbo hose blow. They are also quite expensive around £60 so I was wondering if they can be purchased cheaper anywhere?
