It was as if the exhaust 'farted'. Im thinking maybe there was a heap of air going through at once? But its happened a few times.Talking to a few people who own FG's and theirs do it as well. Is there a way to fix it? Or is it something that's supposed to happen?Thanks guys Sounds like a gear change ?

Otherwise a tune is on the list of things to do eventually so hopefully that gets rid of it its nothing bad from what im told, it just annoys me Clutz, I refuse to go to the Ford dealers here in Canberra for advice, theyre hopeless. I trust me mechanic with everything. Ive known him for over 15 years (family friend) and he services my dads GT-P and another one of his mates F6.

Limits torque between gears in the auto, causes the "fart" sound out the exhaust.

RonH Member 8 Member For: 12y 7m 10d Posted 27/09/12 11:11 PM Share Posted 27/09/12 11:11 PM Another thing to watch or look for if your turbo has lost (as opposed to loosing) power is check it has not blown a hose off.It appears when it changes gears you get a slight over boost and it can pop a hose off.They are supposed to check all the hoses clamps during the servicing but we all know that checking, and checking, is two different things.Just some advice I got when I picked my new G6E T 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81533-losing-power-and-a-weird-noise/page/2/#findComment-1301421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my mechanic is a family friend as well, so he tells me everything that's wrong.
