MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio Wastegate hose replacement
Do I need to replace my MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio wastegate hose?
If your car is fitted with one, the turbocharger on your MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio is designed to aid in engine efficiency and power and relies on the wastegate to keep the boost pressure under control. The wastegate hose on your MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio keeps the wastegate operating as it should, and if it fails, your MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio will be left underpowered and with increased fuel consumption.
The wastegate hose is usually made of silicone or rubber and connects with small hose clamps at either end. Although flexible when new, the high temperatures in the engine bay, as well as contamination from oil and other fluids, can cause hardening and it can split over time.
When this happens to your MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio wastegate hose, replacement is the only option to rectify any issues caused by a split or broken hose.
The technicians on AutoGuru can replace the failed wastegate on your MCC/Smart City Coupe/Cabrio in a timely fashion, getting you back on the road safely.
