I found it was always coming loose on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't even see it I had to take it off to discover it. Once I replaced the piece of silicon hose it was fine. I didn't loose and boost either just gave a wooshing type sound. Maybe you might have the same thing. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also check the smaller BOV hose at the rear of the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaRtZ Member 9 Member For: 15y 11m 27d Posted 23/11/08 09:26 AM Share Posted 23/11/08 09:26 AM (edited) do u still have it serviced by a ford dealer? if so specifically request that the exhaust manifold and turbo bolts be re-tentioned. this is ment to be done at a specific service (cant remeber which one, might be 30,000) but if the customer isnt complianing of anything they wont bother with it.it could just be a bit of bearing noise from a pulley if your mate thinks its the belt Edited 23/11/08 09:28 AM by CaRtZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
