Petrol/Gas Loose parts (hoses ) - design or failure ?

[Wueste]

Hi is it normal that these hoses are hanging so loose in the engine compartment?
I can move everything back and forth and can also see a clip behind it. But the gap is too big, I can't clip the hoses in.

Can someone have a look at their car. I am currently on the Costa Rei (Sardinia) and there is no reference vehicle here.

To explain, I have several strange noises in different driving situations.
Maybe that's one of the problems.

I have attached another video.

I went over this with a technical representative from Ineos last year at the Overland Expo and he compared it to the vehicles they had on site. He affirmed this was "normal".

The removal of the coolant hose clip remains a mystery for me: why did they have to remove it, and have VIN numbers from 1958 on, another clip or still no clip at all?

But I am not happy, the coolant hose is too loose and wobbles a lot when on dirt roads. See the next simulation video (notice also the intruder in my car):

The coolant hose is also touching the plastic of the ventilator:

I could be wrong, but my engineering soul tells me this isn’t how it should be. Therefore, I build myself a new coolant hose clip, using, as before, the...

It doesn’t seem normal at all. I have fixed mine with Velcro strap.

Once again… “normal” implies as designed and intended. Whereas “common” would merely imply a high frequency of occurrence, right or wrong. In this case wrong.

Glad this error was pointed out to me.
