    I must have missed the smiley bit. Very satisfying result, clonk aside. If I were closer, I'd design a couple of brackets, one to replace the original near the plenum but push the hose away from the block and a second to hold the hose clear of the pulley, probably what you're already thinking, then 3D print them in a suitable material.

    Replacement booster hose for the win. Towards the end of the video, you described the knock as more of a rattle. This reminded me of the front suspension rattle I had on my 2008 C4 Grand Picasso which was the strut top mounts. I replaced them with genuine Citroen parts and the rattle was cured. It could be the same with your C6.

    I had a intercooler pipe that pop out on my Xantia 1.9TD from 96 (back in 2001)... I was driving during the night on A1 at Portugal , pushing the 92Hp while climbing the steep grade near Fatima to keep the 120Km/h in 5th when suddenly it went gutless , hardly maked 70Km/h in 3rd when arrived to the top of the climb, and fortunately there is a gas station there... it was pitch night , looking to the dark pipes and trying to figure out what append... and suddenly I see the shadow of the rubber tube that interconnects the tube to the intercooler , blind luck I didn't loose the screwed clamps when they pop out ...

    Those pipes make an intriguing sound when you slap them, and I was waiting for an impromptu performance. Just to introduce a note of culture, in the 1970s a New Zealand experimental music group called From Scratch made a number of pieces for arrays of PVC pipes slapped on the open ends with flip-flops (technical name for such an instrument, a "plosive aerophone"). They had such a strong sense of rhythm that it was not at all dire in the way experimental music so often is. A use for discarded tubing lying around the workshop?
