## 🔌 Function

Carries compressed air from the turbocharger through the charge air cooling circuit to the inlet, keeping the boost pressure sealed in.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Loss of power and black smoke from a boost leak
-   Whistling or hissing under load that rises with engine speed
-   Oily film tracking from a joint or clamp
-   Cracks at a weld, bend or flange
-   Hose connection ends distorted so clamps cannot seal

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Charge air pipe 3838689 at 3.18 kg is the heavier D series pipe in this section — check the group and application before ordering
-   Fit new hoses, seals and clamps at both ends; on a charge air joint the connection almost always leaks before the pipe does
