Thanks, it's off to the garage tomorrow then. I'll report back It was the cat, broke down and caused a blockage, hence pressure build up and pipe blowing off.

Anyone have any idea why this tube would be blowing off, high pressure air coming out??

Hi I've enclosed a pic, this is the pipe that's coming off, is that anything to do with turbo?? I have no idea at all, lol

I'm a complete novice but need a hand with a problem I have. I have problems with a pipe that keeps coming off once the revs go over about 3-4k, it's a small tube that connects to a metal tube at the bottom of the engine. I know I have MAF issues before anyone suggests this but this pipe keeps blowing off (high pressure air?) regardless of whether the MAF is connected or not. Please help!!

My main problem now seems to be the small pipes (pair of 2 running just of the bottom of the engine), one keeps coming off if revs get above 3 or 4k. Please help, they do this even if the MAF is not connected

Excellent thanks, I'll try and get a torx screwdriver and give it a go. Is this what's leading to the pressure build up then?

Hi all, hope you can help. I'm suffering a loss of power with my 1997 2.0 Ghia Galaxy. It appears to be some problem with the MAF, when it's connected the car stalls/judders, when removed it runs ok but with a lack of power (can only do about 30 mph up hill). The other related problem is that 1 of the small pipes (not very technical I know) keeps coming off, at either end, and it seems to be a build up of pressure making this happen. Does this mean the MAF needs cleaning/replacing or is it likely to be something else? The engine sounds fine, not running loud or anything just gushing noises from the pipe that is disconnecting. Please help ! :)

Thanks! I'll give it a go!

Hi, I'm pretty new on here, think this is my first post....anyway My Galaxy has the same problem, can get 3rd, 4th and reverse only... If I take it to a garage what do I need to tell them needs replacing, the gear selector assembly? Also any ideas roughly how much it's likely to cost??
