The tightened the turbo bolts and all was sweet after the service, but here I am not even 2000km later and I can hear it again.Did anyone come up with a good solution to get these bolts locked in place? I'll be getting ford to tighten it up again and re-check torques... but if I could give them a solution to stop it happening again it would be better.

Checked the manifold bolts 3 loose one took two turns to tighten.

I took one look at the heat shields and went NFW... I'll leave that to the service dept. When I say Turbo bolts are loose it could be any of the bolts on the exhaust, manifold or head side.

IMPOSSIBLE to replace without taking the turbo off.BTW, the nuts are single use. If the nuts come loose, get them replaced. I had my whole stud come out though.. Anyway...I have a very good mate who was a Ford Mechanic. He gave me a little guidance as to how to do the job, and offered to help if I needed it, BUT.. didn't need him.Anyway. I got a Loctite product called " Silver Grade Anti Seize Stick " put onto every stud and head bolt. Should stop them from coming out again..Copper Grease is good too. The grease gets hot, the copper in it melts and fuses the thread.. Car was completely different when fixed.
