After 2 Hours It's Still Hot!

[Guest Turbo-6]

I've noticed that the plastic mounting on the pipes to the left of the engine has melted and dripped onto the heat shield. This clip will need to be replaced by the dealership. There is some serious heat being generated under the bonnet.

OUCH! Surely there has to a problem if that occurs

Can you post a pic?

Anyone else had this problem?

I saw a post about this on another forum; a guy checked out 3 or 4 XR6Ts at Summernats and they all had melted clips!

Here's a pic I took after I cleaned the melted mess off the heat shield.

That could easily start an under bonnet fire!!!

Suggest Ford check that out ASAP.

Seem’s mine was never fitted so it’s either something that has been picked up and done away with or somebody forgot to put it on, luckly by the look’s of thing’s.

like air, hot water rises so its closer to the temp sensor so that's why it may be reading higer after being stationary, also arnt turbo timers highly illegal (not sure if u care or not but I thought id mention it)

Checked mine this afternoon and the clip has melted off in exactly the same way as the photo above. Speaking to my dad their is a points bulletin out about this melting clip and he will be looked after by your dealership.
