Since we don't seem to have had one, I thought I'd set up a poll to see how long genuine OEM turbo hoses have lasted.
Please only vote based on the large hose from the inter-cooler to the intake.
If you have had issues with other hoses there is an option for you too.
If anyone thinks the options need altering feel free to say.
EDIT: Please do not vote unless you have actually had a hose failure.
Figures are intended to be in Miles.Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

I think you need an option for, "I changed mine as preventative maintenance before it failed on me". Which is what I did at about 100k miles.

2019 Škoda Kodiaq 2.0 Tdi 190 DSG Sportline in Quartz Grey. Excellent vehicle. Gone.
2017 Discovery Sport HSE Auto in Carpathian Grey and Ebony Leather. Modern JLR Junk. Gone.
2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual in Zermatt Silver with Ebony Cloth (143k) Gone, but now patrolling the Asia section of the West Midlands Safari Park!
That did occur to me, having changed mine too, but without having too many more options it wouldn't give any more info.
Maybe
Lasted at least 75K
Lasted at least 100K
Lasted at least 150K
would do?

Changed mine at 75k purely as a preventative measure.

Not clicked on the poll as in its current guise you need to have a failure to establish a mileage, but I did 90k and 8 years before trade-in with all the original bits in place.

2 D3's, both did in excess of 100k without any hose issues.
I suspect the use of the vehicle may have a bearing on mtbf. Lots of power cycles (power on - power off) as may be experienced in town use, or off road use, as opposed to long distance constant power cruising could make a difference?

Yes, I can't edit it now but as you say, unless you have a failure it doesn't mean anything unless it's already done a particularly high mileage.
I'll clarify the first post for those of us that changed our hoses before failure. Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

Mine gave up 2 weeks ago with 66,450 on the clock. Lucky though as two days later I would have had the tintent on the back going upto Scotland. Had to replace it with an OEM one as I couldn't get a silicone one in time. See how long this one lasts.

I've noticed a few puffs of smoke recently, and spotted a split in the hose while changing the oil today. Looks like my next free day has been planned for me.
Doesn't really count, but if just split a Silicone intercooler hose an not the long hose either go figureAltox GSM FBH controller thread

Are we talking miles or kilometres? (When does the UK join the metric system?)
Anyway I can't vote in the poll as my engine was replaced at 142 000 km and the new one has only done 30 000 km on an OEM hose.LeighW

* first ran a bearing (design failure in original engine)
* second had a failure of the water outlet on top of the engine (pls check yours)
