Gibbo1078 Member 6 Member For: 15y 4m 17d Posted 29/10/09 10:40 PM Share Posted 29/10/09 10:40 PM I've got a exhaust noise coming from around my exhaust manafold I thought I may be the gasket leaking but I've heard that in the BA's they have a common problem with the bolts on the turbo fracturing and falling out. Has anyone heard of this problem???(05 XR6t Ute) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
