Turbo Problem

[Mr X]

Mines done it from day one. I dont think its anything to worry about.

ditto-from the word go,now 18000 kms and still sounds the same

Has any one heard what happened to that ian character that loaded the edit into his car and farked what sounded like the turbo? he said there was debris and oil all over the road

Mine is noisey when cold. If I start the car ice cold, say in the morning and let it idels for a few seconds, then swith the engine off. You can hear a distint whiring noise like a bearing, sounds gravely and slowly winds to a stop. I think its loud enough to record. I might try it later.

I noticed when I had my intake pipe off that there was brown oil dripping out the bottom of the compressor wheel, mine could be fukced

Probably works for APS :wootjump:

The cars continue to run coolant through the turbo after the engine is turned off to remove heat from the turbo so that the oil doesn't fry inside the turbine. Ford mentioned this when the cars were released and I'm suprised no one else was aware of this. If you listen closely you can hear coolant circulating for a minute or two after shut down. Maybe someone else has more information on this.

Interesting.

Does anyone have any more info on this? How would the water flow when the car is stopped as the water pump will not be turning?

Do they have an electric pump?

They use some sort of smart system where as the water boils in the turbine bearing sleeve, it rises sucking in new less hot coolant from the radiator.

No pumps or motors, nuthin Clever really...

My best explanation.

Thermal sython !!!

It was used many years before water pumps to cool engines, in fact T model Fords used it.

Heat from the engine causes water to continue to circulate even after thr engine is turned off.

This is the principle Ford now use to cool the tubo after the engine is shut down.

In principle hot water rises (top of radiator) which in turn draws cold water from the bottom of the radiator through the engine.

This is a very simply explanation.

Hope it helps.
