Thanks Scarecrow,

I will see how FL goes…..will post accordingly…..

From my experience I think if anyone has a similar problem it’s best to just have a good look at this T/C hose………best to remove it to have a good look…comes off easily…it’s the hose connected to the throttle valve……..goes to plastic pipe to intercooler……the hose on my FL had gone ‘soggy’….new one very tough.
The electronic control seems to be that sensitive that it can detect the slightest leak on turbo pressure- side………..the split on the hose was tiny……….very difficult to see……
I was thinking…….in the old days we had things like a turbo- boost gauge……& a voltmeter on the dash…
so much easier to see something amiss……..having said that a decent code reader is a Godsend.

Hi everyone interested,

Update from last post 5 weeks ago….from S. France….

We returned to Oxfordshire leaving 24deg temperatures a week ago……car ran ok…..fully loaded as normal.
Occasional stutter but nothing to worry about………certainly not like before replacing sensors & T/C hose.
Once north of Paris no stutter at all…..temperature 17ish…….then to Calais & return to Blighty…..to Oxfordshire………860 mls without problem…….no hesitation, stutter at all……..
Now temperature around 10deg……….car runs great…..I’ve tried to coax it to stutter….(light throttle take-up at 50-60 mph …1500 rpm ) but it won’t……..
Seems bizzare : no posts on subject for 5 weeks….is it due to the return to cooler temps….. ?
If so…..what is the problem……? As I have mentioned many times…..can’t understand why a temp rise to above 20deg C can cause a problem………….
Otherwise car ok…….needed 2 new front tyres for MOT…14/11…..Pirelli Scorpion Verde had scuffed on outside edge (front) on way back…………alignment only slightly out ……otherwise no faults.
Will keep car…..& wait & see….it’s a nice car & as we have written on recent posts ‘what to replace it with “
