Hi!
I filled my newly acquired 2018 XC60 D5 (with Polestar optimisation) with fuel yesterday and opened the bonnet to top up the washer water. I then noticed that there were mouse droppings on the engine cover So when I got home I used a vacuum cleaner to clean them off. I then got a torch to check the rest of the engine bay to see if there was any more mousey evidence. Luckily not. But I did notice that a hose to the engine has slipped off its connector. I took some pictures to show where this is. Anyone know if this is serious? I started the car and nothing comes out of either the hose or connector and the seemed to drive fine yesterday. Thanks for your help.


Area of exposed 45deg connector - it's under that big hose in the left of the red circle. (Sorry, I'm no mechanic!)

Hi. I have the same issue on my D5

did you work out whether it’s meant to be connected to the little pipe?

 

Yes it is. The dealer repaired it by replacing the hose and refitting it. Apparently it blows off sometimes!

 

Thanks heaps. Did you find out what it was for and whether important?

 

If I remember correctly it is related to the turbo and does not serve a primary function so you can keep driving but will perhaps loose some turbo function. Sorry, was two years ago so I don't remember the details.
