Hi

The other day took my xr6t for a quick drive after the 105km service gave a bit of stick a few times, then on the last time I was excelerating heard a loud woosh sound like something depressureing, then lost all my power, and have got a noise, like a exhaust leak comming from the drivers side rear of the engine sounds like it is under the rear heat shield,, checked all my clamps and hoses, cannot find anything, my car is stock except for a custom 10psi tune,

any ideas would be appreciated.

Have you replaced the factory wire hose clamps with proper worm gear or T-bolt clamps.

As the symptoms sounds like a hose is popped off

Also check your turbo housing and manifold bolts after the hoses mate.

I have checked all the clamps, jacked the car up and grabbed the turbo delivery hose when the car waas running and gave it a good wobble I did not seem to be loose or did the noise change,, which I thought the noise would change if the hose had popped,,, as far as my clamps go they are still the stock ones keep meaning to get the worm type but have not got around to it yet

the funny thing was I had just had the car serviced were I asked them to check all the manifold bolts were tight , when I checked them after this had happened I found the rear top exhaust bolt only hanging in by a few threads,, totally obvious by sight alone that it was loose

same here. Mine was meant to have the bolt tightened according to service manual, but there was quite a few that were loose.

Watch out for old dead threads mate! Almost a year on this one, though nothing changes in regards to Ford service hey. I bet they didn't do my bolts either :/

check the quality of your pressure side pipes, you may have a split in on of them if it happened all of a sudden!

What do you expect for $375 service - that's what I got quoted anyway for 75,000km service. what a joke.
