Engine just went pop

LOL, you mean you didn't have a good look before pronouncing it dead :D

FWIW I had the same thing happen to me on the Scoob once, and it exibited all those symptoms.

It happened on the rex too (as Simon, Merlin, Hilly etc will testify :o ), but as the rex works via MAP as apposed to MAF I don't notice it untill I discovered I had no boost....

Glad it seems to be OK though mate :cool:

update

Just went over there with my mate who tunes cossies (has a 600hp one) and he had a look over it, turned out the intercooler had blown the hose connecting it to the throttle body

Heh, and you thought you had killed the engine. Schoolboy.

Of course, I've *never* ever blown my intake boost pipe, absolutely **** myself and cried down the phone to my mate... who calmly asked me to pop my bonnet and check said pipe. All whilst on the hard sholder of the M1 with only an adjustable spanner to hand. Nooo, never.

I've done it loads of times, thing is usually I do it under boost, this must have just wriggled off on idle, how it wedged itself under the strut brace im not sure but if it does turn out to be the problem I will be sooooooooo happy! :D
 
What the!?!

Good luck with the drive home dude, fingers are firmly crossed that it's just the IC pipe.

Seriously gutted for you about the P1, thats terrible dude :( :(

But... you have a 535d and you've not even bothered to go and get it? OMG, they are awesome.

Go and get it, bring it to the RR day, and wind up all the petrol boys as your diesel gets 276bhp ;)

Edit: I must read threads fully, great news :)
