Check the hoses, as said as you look at the engine the one which tends to go is the one on the top right

Thanks guys. I know what you mean re the hoses. I had one replaced a few months ago but can't recall which one.

It might depend on which hose and the size of the split? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

There is a complete silicon hose set available for the TDV8, if it is a split hose, I suggest to replace the complete set as those silicon hoses are very strong. There is a post on here about the hose sets |

it might not even be split, it might have just popped off and needs pushing back on and the jubilee clip tightening up |

I have 2011 4.4v8 which has just started smoking on acceleration. My indie guy says 25 hours labour which he has agreed at £1500 and if its seals then £375 or if its the turbo complete then £1500 inc vat. |

^has yours had the turbo drain modification done? There was a service bulletin re smoke on acceleration which involves fitting a scavenger pipe to one of the turbos. Not sure if it would be done foc at a dealer but it is worth asking the question! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
