Turbo oil feed leaks

the leak bottom left is the oil return, take it off (jubbly clips) clean it and put it back on, the upper leak is the high pressure oil feed side..by a sexy new flexi from Andy Rabson (Andyquadra) and fit it, looks better and will last longer.
 
Ok I now have the smaller oil feed hose on the way from Andy.

The bigger hose where it joins onto the block, there is a 2" or so long bit of rubber held on by 2 jubilee clips, this is split in 2 and needs replaced.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a similar item that is resistant to oil/heat/etc?

Cheers.
 
there are silicone replacements online, ebay etc, check they are suitible for oil though
 
Can anyone tell me exactly what size of item I need?
I won't have time to check it the till the weekend, and hoping to fix it then!

Cheers.
 
Contact your car to your local Renault dealer and you may get one supplied & fitted for free.

yep there was a factory recall for turbo oil pipes on certain designs, I took my dads phase1 up to my local garage when I took ownership. Luckily they booked it straight in as a local owner had paid out the money for all the kit they need if it was to be changed, which was sat on the shelf.
If this kit hadn't been there they would have "taken" the car until it turned up and was fitted.

Luckily mine was fine. I think this was a recall on the pressured side, but they might replace the drain also.

But I would say unlikely to be honest, just get a replacement bit of silicone on the net.
 
The recall was on the high pressure side. If you had bought a replacement from renault there was a duff batch so they replaced them. Yours might not one of the duff ones so you may still have to buy one.
