Opel/Vauxhall Wastegate hose replacement
Why Does My Opel/Vauxhall Wastegate Hose Need to Be Replaced?
If your car is fitted with one, the turbocharger on your Opel/Vauxhall 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 Opel/Vauxhall keeps the wastegate operating as it should, and if it fails, your Opel/Vauxhall 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 Opel/Vauxhall 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 Opel/Vauxhall in a timely fashion, getting you back on the road safely.
