As the performance has not dropped, apart from a very rare stutter as the turbo tries to kick in as the car accelerates from low speeds, is it okay to drive, or is this an urgent repair?

Replaced mine on the drive, changed all four to silicon. You will find it easier if you remove the front bumper first as the intercooler pipes are easier to reach that way. removing the front bumper is quite straight forward and there is a utube video showing the method. If you change all four you will also need to remove the undershield, once again straightforward with only 6 bolts to remove.

Sorry if this is a daft question but can you check the end float of the turbo when you change the hoses or would you need to remove the turbo for that? |

Had the car checked at a local independent garage, and they could hear the noise when the car is accelerating but no noise when standing. Still full power, no noticeable smoke, in fact the mechanic thought it was a really good drive and was still full powered.
