Philip Baillie Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 On Friday morning a loud whooshing noise started coming from the engine bay I went to the local garage and they had a look and there were no split hoses or signs of soot on the top of the engine bay so it went up on the ramp and the sump guard came off but still no sign So I went away for the weekend with the caravan on the back on the way back there was a lot of black smoke coming out of the exhaust and it's using a lot of diesel The car is a 1.8 tdci focus estate 57 reg Any advice would be good at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vann1992 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Sounds to me like a split in the boost hose Did they check the intercooler hoses? Does it lack power? Go out, leave it to warm up & give it a rev, turbo should boost around 2500rpm, check to see how much smoke comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyntdci Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 turbo starts to spool approx 1500 rmp, mine max's out at 3500 done with torq app and elm 327 bluetooth adaptor. i have same problem, im thinking air leak, can you hear yours on tick over, or just in boost?

FOCA Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 The boost hose/s can split due to the movement between the engine/ chassis, splits can be hard to spot, they can be in inaccessable areas/ sometimes you need to take the hoses off to see the split 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bprecey Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This happened to my focus when one of the turbo hoses was not reinstalled properly following some maintenance. My car eventually went into limp home mode and had to be repaired before restoring normal mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordpartsman Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 the 1.8 diesel lynx engine that is in your car has a very very very common turbo hose to go. stand at the front of the car with the bonnet open on the left hand side of the engine bay as you look at it (drivers side) there is a black metal pipe at the dashboard end of this pipe is a 90 degree bend rubber hose that connects to the turbo THIS IS THE HOSE check it thoroughly for splits if split then its a trip to your local ford parts centre unfortunately it only comes with that black metal pipe hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1957 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I had the same problem on my 2006 1.8tdci focus. It turned out to be a split in the left hand air inlet pipe on the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjanick88 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 My ST220 is making a loud howling noise like a giant blowing over an empty bottle! Only does it when accelerating harshly then when i let off it does it. Iv been told it could be the idle air control valve letting air back the wrong way making the noise! So have a read up on an IAC valve. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'd check the intercooler hoses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharliEngine89 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Check the large diameter hose that feeds the inlet manifold. It is secured with two pipe clips. Get a silicone replacement off eBay for about £7, don't bother with Ford. Takes about 5mins to do yourself.

Tauchaos Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm not a technical guy when it comes to cars I can make it run and tinker that's about it but I had this problem, when looking at the engine in my 1.8 tdci I noticed there's a pipe in front of the drivers side it's only a small 90 degree pip but it had a tiny split in it which was causing the woohsing noise and ford kindly charged me £37 for that tiny right angle pipe and a bit I didn't need lol Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 You're lucky. The two pipes they insist have to be changed together (rubber 90 degree pipe and metal lower part) are usually £60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liebo Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yup, had to buy it together for mine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bprecey Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I had to replace both of those and the fuel oil filter. All victims of friction wear. -_- Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
