My girlfriend has just run me stranded in my Alfa - sounds like a repeat of a previous problem.
The rubber pipes at the top of the manifolds keep popping off the head. This causes the engine to stall (I think due to the excess air sending the ECU loopy).
Is this normal - engine has done about 190k (!) and no other problems....well apart from occasional stalling at low speed.
The pipe clips are a bugger to undo and the pipes are then a bugger to re-fit (hopefully will get a decent AA man to get it back on the road!)
I was considering replacing the clips with jubilee clips so can get them tighter - any reason I should not do this?
Is it that the pipes/clips are just old and need replacing?
Is it something more sinister?!
