OK, a car breakdown is\u00a0NOT\u00a0<\/strong>what I wanted to happen to me coming home from work tonight.<\/p>\n Luckily, it happened shortly after I left work, which means I managed to pull over somewhere safe.<\/p>\n I pulled over somewhere quick and had a spy in the engine. I needed to work on the car so limped into a car park at Aldi.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I then set about jacking up the car using the OEM scissor jack (verryyyyy sketchy and scary), and removed the underbody shield on the car.<\/p>\n Once it was removed, I could see the hose was disconnected. Great, a boost pipe collapsed. It’s always good when you quickly find the source of the problem (albeit irritating).<\/p>\n I reconnected and started the engine revved it a few times. Sounds good.<\/p>\n Now. Time for the journey home, wish me luck. I hoofed it inside the car park, and all seemed good so started the long drive home<\/p>\n Well. Bye goes that idea, within 500 metres of driving, another loud bang and FOOOOO (video from dashcam below).<\/p>\n Hose popped off and car ran like absolute shit again with the loud expulsion of air. I knew the pipe had already collapsed. Queue a slow and embarrasing limp along a dual carriage way… ah not good. Pulled over somewhere safe.<\/p>\n Here’s the problem I experienced. I was driving towards a roundabout then all I heard was a loud and loud FOOOOO sound along with a very quick expulsion of air. I’m not a mechanic, but I immediately suspected I had a boost pipe collapse or come off the car.<\/p>\n I checked my Dashcam was recording, this is what it sounds like when the boost hose pops off the car<\/p>\n![\"Audi](\"https:\/\/www.andrewhope.co.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210728_200332-scaled-e1627499452219.jpg\")
