Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hey Steevo, what sort of noise did you start hearing..................my car has had a "grinding" kind of sound on switch-off since about 20,000k's has now done about 80,000 just out of warranty. I don't think my noise is getting worse though......god I hope not!! Mark.

apac77 Member 39 Member For: 19y 2m 7d Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 I guess the first noise I first noticed was after I turned off my car I'd hear a slight grinding sound as you said below. And then in the last week and a half that grinding sound got quite a bit louder, and then I even started hearing it when I turned on my car. The about a week ago my car stopped boosting up and I drove it home from where I was and drove it once more for like 10km at da most, and I guess the bearing must have got off centered and caused the wheel to become off centered and now it sounds like a high pitch grinding sound when I drive the car and when it boosts up.My advise is change your oil guys after 5k, not after 15000k. I changed mine at around 17k, but that was enough for the damage to be done.....and now I'm searching for a turbo...Stevo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34345-turbo-is-fruit-caked/page/2/#findComment-524097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_juggsalot Member 12 Member For: 18y 1m 23d Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 damn now im worried again. I too hear a slight grinding noise when I turn off my car. But I thought this was normal? I thought it was just the turbo spinning untill it stopped?
