UEB302 Member 27 Member For: 12y 10m 13d Posted 21/10/12 12:52 PM Share Posted 21/10/12 12:52 PM Hows it goin,took my 2012 turbo ute to the drags the other day and had a weird issue on my last pass.I think it started at the end of second gear(manual) where the motor started to whistle really loudly but being over excited I kept it pegged through to 4th gear when I crossed the finish line while it was still whistling really loudly until I backed off,I pullled up at the end of the track to check I hadnt split a pipe or something had popped off but nothing looked out of place.Now the ute doesnt seem to go as well,almost like it comes on boost a bit later than it used to and just feels slower.Also got bad axle tramp in first gear and bent an axle on that pass(piss weak axles)!It hasnt whistled anymore and ive rechecked the pipework and nothing has come off or come loose and doesnt seem to be split.Pretty spewin because ive always taken it pretty easy on my ute and the one time I get up it,it bloody lets me down and its only done 5000km.Any ideas what ive done?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least they could in FG mk 1's.. Is it only whistling when on boost? Or all the time now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEB302 Member 27 Member For: 12y 10m 13d Posted 22/10/12 01:26 AM Author Share Posted 22/10/12 01:26 AM It only whistled the one time at the drags and hasnt done it since.Mind you I havent driven it as hard since then but it doesnt seem to be there now.I just found it weird to hear this really loudly and then not anymore after that.Im not sure what is meant by the diff bush,it has a bent axle and I can tell by the squeaking left side brake which wasnt there before the drags.The only bushes on a live axle falcon ute that I know of are the spring saddles.

What you are describing is exactly what happens when a hose splits or breaks. Try taking off the joiners and inspect them for cracks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
