Where the intercooler hose meets the EGR valve, it has a fitted metal sleeve with a couple of 'lumps' to locate it with a clip, and (in theory) a rubber seal.
How tight a fit should this hose be into the EGR? The retaining lumps on mine appear to be nearly non existent and its possible to move the hose around by hand in the EGR inlet although it is secured. Should this be airtight? Have a suspicion that it probably isn't great.
No major issues with power loss although I've had the 270 a year and it may well have been like this the whole time, so no real basis for comparison. It picks up and revs fine, and seems to pull well.
Worth replacing just in case?
cheers
