patrick1234 Member 39 Member For: 13y 7d Posted 18/09/12 10:48 AM Share Posted 18/09/12 10:48 AM Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place for this but il try anyway. I have a bf xr6 turbo ute and 2 bolts on the exhaust housing have come loose and one has completely gone. I meant these little bolts holding some sort of plate on the turbo. So my car has a funny sound and "Burgels" out the hole where the bolt should be,. I tightened the two loose ones and they worked there way loose in 1 driveIl put up a photo tommorow. Was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if they know what size bolt they are. I have tried 2 from a bolt in with no luck, And ford don't stock them cause its off the garret turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the question is, is it the bolts holding the dump pipe onto the back of the exhaust housing, my suspicion is yes, in which case you should remove the ones that were loose and get some loctite onto them or they will come loose again.

The typical ones to come loose are the manifold to head bolts or the manifold to turbo bolts. You may have to look into why it is happening a little more, maybe bionic might have a bit of info if he has seen it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
