🔌 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
