Turbo pipe/hose - OEM or random aftermarket
Discussion
Would you replace damaged turbo hose witha) OEM from manufacturer at £80 (but who knows what age) or b) random ebay at £20 (or £40 or £60) - but no specs or obvious manufacturer namec) try my friendly autoparts place when they open on Monday.Run of the mill car - 2014 Mondeo 1.6Diesel - engine/hose fits Fords & Volvos 2011-2015 (so presumably fairly common).If it was a sports car I might go OEM - but also having bought New-Old-Stock radiator hoses for a sports car in the past (so different car and different application) and seeing that fail I'm tempted to gamble on the cheaper one. Thoughts appreciated? Anyone had a cheap turbo hose fail?Is anything ok?Or as its the only thing that has broken in 12 years and 120k miles should I do the right thing and stick wit the Ford parts bin
