Brother-in-laws 1.2 12V CGPB Polo died in traffic - a few attempts to start / jump start by him and my brother, in the end they pushed it to a car park.


I got over yesterday to have a look - several fault codes, cleared them, attempted to start (turns but doesn't start), only code remaining is cam sensor implausible.


Against my better judgement (egged on by my little bro) bought a sensor today. Fitted, turned over a couple of times, loud bang and small amount of smoke under the bonnet. At first I thought electrical, but car still scans fine. Not dared turn it over again.


Look around the engine and find that a pipe around the back of the engine has come loose, but worse than that, it has snapped a middle section off (I guess due to pressure) - so it can no longer reach where it attached? Could this be uncombusted fuel vapour from previous starts having blown something out? Or likely a more sinister cause? I assume this was the bang, with the smoke coming out of the broken pipe.


Any ideas on anything I can to to investigate further? Petrols are all "foreign" to me...
