My BF XR6T factory sunroof is leaking. The front drains are clear, so I spoke to a man at Webasto who said that the rear drains may be blocked and I should blow some air through these from where they exit the car. Does anyone know where the rear sunroof drains exit the car? Wheel well? Under rear bumper? Thanks John

Hi there fellow forum people. I have an FG XR250 turbo ute with a growler intake, a three inch exhaust from the turbo back and a turbo smart BOV that has a blanking plug to stop the shhhhhh noise on lifting off the throttle. The car is very quick and I am trying to make the car more refined, sort of a stealth car and one of the main issues I have is part throttle noise from inside the cabin. For example when you are briskly accelerating, just squeezing the throttle and the rev range from 1500 to 2000 starts to sweep by I get a very hissy, rushing , leaking air noise. On hard acceleration all sounds as it should with a high pitched compressor sound from the turbo when it's spinning hard but it's the low range lazy turbo boost that sounds totally wrong. Is this a normal sound from the car or should I be looking for leaks in the pressurised side of the intake? Could the noise be caused by the open style of the growler air filter? Any feedback would be welcomed, I used to have a Subaru WRX and it did not sound like this at all, more of a very efficient and tight sounding turbine whine with no hissing noise. Maybe it's an issue with the design of the whole intake system and I need to replace it with an after market system. cheers lewis

hi guys, just bought a 11/09 fg xr6 turbo ute last month. was verry happy with it untill I sent it up on the hoist at work only to find the turbo was leaking oil in a big way. so sent it back to titan ford under warenty, got it back the next day and the service advisor told me it was leaking through the induction pipe, yes I know its normal for a bit of oil to pass through from the engine breather but this is a huge leak. anyway after 5 mins of argueing someone told me that they tightened up the oil feed line, so I dont know what to belive. I did 100kms in it and then put it up on the hoist again only to find it leaking just as bad, but that's not all, it is now leaking coolant from the turbo aswell!!! so back to ford I went, went and picked it up the next day. they told me that they pressure tested the cooing system overnight and couldnt fault it, and regaurding the oil leak they put a new hose clamp on the induction piping (probably because they reefed the old one so hard and broke it) so back to square one :( I have a friend at a different ford dealership who is a service advisor,and their boss is away atm and he is doing all bookings/warenty stuff and said he will just book in for a brand new turbo under warenty. im not to sure on this as I dont know if it is the turbo at fault or not and dont want them to get in the sh*ts for doing it. do you guys know what normaly leaks on them? it looks to me like its the feed line that is leaking but aparently they have tightend it, so dont know if it needs a new washer or if something is warped or what? would you gofor the new turbo or just keep sending it back or what?? thanks in advance Andy
