doogs8282 Member 22 Member For: 16y 8m 14d Posted 17/09/12 07:29 AM Author Share Posted 17/09/12 07:29 AM Speaking to a few people about my issue and it is definately related to boost pressure. Must be a leaking joint or split somewhere. I just can't get my head around how it sounds so clear in the cabin, as if the leak is in the cabin, not the engine bay.I really need to start pulling things apart and have a good look around.

doogs8282 Member 22 Member For: 16y 8m 14d Posted 17/09/12 08:35 PM Author Share Posted 17/09/12 08:35 PM Yeah, I did. Even with that outstanding issue it was too good to pass up. Silver XR6T 2009 with 95000 km, XR luxury pack, reverse camera, iPod integration kit, tow kit, 5yr unlimited km warranty(I have read the fine print and it actually covers quite a bit), 5 wheels and front and rear lower bar sections painted in Ego...just under 22gdrive away, and they gave me what I wanted for my last car.

Imstill thinking its boost rather than vacuum as I did notice last night that when I put my hand up to the inside of the window closest to the dash, I can feel the airflow that I'm hearing. Now im almost convinced my problem is inside the car just under the dash. Easy job to pull the instrument cluster? And can I run the car with the cluster removed?

doogs8282 Member 22 Member For: 16y 8m 14d Posted 18/09/12 01:25 AM Author Share Posted 18/09/12 01:25 AM Pretty much anything over 2grand will produce the fault with accelerating up inclines producing more effect. Not something that only happens with "spirited" driving. Not much of a stretch to place a hand in that vicinity either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doogs8282 Member 22 Member For: 16y 8m 14d Posted 18/09/12 06:08 AM Author Share Posted 18/09/12 06:08 AM Hey guys, I think the mystery has been solved. Took it to my local ford dealer, they had their road test engineer come for a drive with me and said the front windscreen has been replaced for the dealer to get rwc and hasn't been sealed properly.I'll get it sorted tomorrow and report back.Kinda makes sense now I think about all the symptoms! Thanks for all the advice guys, I really appreciate the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
