Good evening all,

I am hoping someone can help me. I've have just come back from a weekend away & I have a very concerning issue.
Driving down to Shuttleworth on Fri I had no issues, but today my car is down on power & pours black smoke on hard acceleration.
I am presuming it will be intercooler/hose leak but otherwise I'm not sure what to look for. I have had the elbow pop off last summer and that is a completely different experience to today. The upper intercooler hose has been replaced with a silicon one, as has the O rings with vitons.
I am very concerned as I had no issues friday but do now.

Many thanks in advance,

Rob
