Ptek2004 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hello all. Im new to ford and have started off purchasing a fusion zetec 1.4 tdci. Performance seems really good for a 1.4. Problem is when driving and getting upto speed you can hear a vacum type noise. Lots of air been sucked..when cruising gently can't really hear it. Is this likely to only be a hose? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptek2004 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 So having a look around stood in front of car looking at engine I can feel some air and the back left. Cant see why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Is this your first turbo engine? Whooshing air noise under load is normal when the turbo boosts. If it seems excessive, check for damaged boost hoses or leaking EGR valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptek2004 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hi yes this is my first ford diesel. Never had it on my vauxhall dti. Thanks for info ill double check it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 No, injector seals make a chuffing noise like a steam train, not a continuous airflow noise. It should sound similar to the Vauxhall DTi as both are turbo diesel engines. I would suggest one of the boost pipes is damaged or loose to cause the noise you describe.
