Hi Guys. Im Alex, and im a new member . Im hoping you can help me, I have a mondeo mk 3 tdci which Ive owned for 5 years. Ive recently installed a solid mass flywheel conversion kit as the dmf was goosed, and the garage wanted 1300 pounds to do the job. ,Anyway its all done,with just one problem. When I drive it cold it sounds fine, but once it gets up to normal temp it sounds like the exhaust is blowing when its under load, Ive had the exhaust checked and was found to be leak free. its pretty loud but as I say its okay when its cold, its got me beat. Anyone have any ideas

Cheers. Alex
