Hello and Welcome to the forum.

Very easy job – Undo both band clamps at each end of the rubber hose (think the clamps are 8mm) and slide the old hose off, you may need to loosen the air filter box lid to aid removal of the hose.

Refitting the new hose is just reversal of the above but use a mirror and feel with your hands that the new boost hose is fully seated before tightening the boost pipe clamps.

Sorry I do not have the exact torque wrench setting for your hose clamps and you might want to ask local Honda dealer.

 

Yep, as @UK-Kev has said, the hose is held on by 2 clamps or big jubilee clips.

Have a look on YouTube for similar videos changing the pipe, and if you get really stuck, I'm sure someone on here will help you get through. 👍

 

Thanks both for answering, it sounds pretty straight forward but also looks pretty tight in there and I can't see how loosening air filter lid might help?.. it's really difficult to get fingers in around the pipe.
(I actually managed to tape the split and it got rid of the orange light on the display - to be honest it started running better than it had in a while so wondered if the split had been causing a slight performance deficit.)
Anyway my main concern is if I get the old one off and can't fit the new one it's stuck on the drive until I can get someone to help.
Any tips like good old WD40 on the hose first to slide it on?.. no videos on YouTube seem to match my engine...

 

If you do not have the experience to do this simple job as I have explained in my previous post, it’s probably best to entrust the job to a professional mechanic or technician.

 

OK thanks again - but I think you were describing the wrong engine - remember I'm on here for guidance to try and save a few hundred quid, otherwise I'd have gone to Honda and paid through the nose for this 'simple job'.

 

REALLY!!!

 

Well, trust me @mark_4091 , he was describing the right engine. That task should be relatively straight forward.
Never done anything with 1.6dtec myself, and now got to say - that is just very tight packaging there!
That pipe can be replaced without wd40. Remember that you should not need to use any excessive force.

 

@mar620471 it really is a simple job. Have you contacted a local mobile mechanic for a quote? If you don't feel capable that is?

Step 1, loosen both band clamps so they are very slack
Step 2, push your thumbs into the middle of the pipe and wiggle either up and down, or left and right to loosen the pipe off one end
Step 3, once you have 1 end of the pipe off, wiggle the other end till it also comes off
Step 4, remove the old pipe and swap over the band clamps onto the new pipe.
Step 5, locate 1 end of the new pipe onto either the turbo or the air box
Step 6 locate the opposite end into its location
Step 7, check the pipe is fitted correctly with no gaps
Step 8, tighten up the band clamps, finished.

Can't really make it much easier than that 🤷‍♂️

 

I know, and I can see it should be easy, and I'm looking a right simp on here, but it's pretty tight and not much wiggle room - I just wondered if there was anything to do that wasn't obvious... when I taped up the split you can barely get in around the pipe...

no worries, I'll be having a go at it in the next day or two... failing that, I've got a number of a mechanic who will call... MOT and big service Friday so I was just trying to get on top of cost - this car has awesome for seven years... no problems at all, big, economical, comfy... just wanna keep it going

And sounds like you will. Also love the car due to its reliable technology built inside.
Lazy man tip follows: Before you start to loosen the band claps, try how hard they are tightened. So instead try to tighten them until you notice any movement in the tool. There your hand should have some approximation on how tight you need to have them.
More better would of course to have proper moment wrench and numbers to tighten the clamps to.

 

not really a simple job if you arent mechanicaly minded
i have same problem on m 2013 2.2idtec cox want 111.00 for the hose which looks to me like it can be bought for about 20ish but i dont want to buy hard plastic if the genuine one is softer and easier to manipulate
same problem take old one off and cant go any where
think about a mobile mechanic because it really is an easy job to them
cheers
