Waldo91 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi guys just purchased a 1.6 petrol zetec s 06 plate. I have noticed when I give it the boot around 2000 rpm I hear a strange sort of hissy squeak from the engine just for a split moment almost like turbo pressure release or something??? No Noise if i dont accelerate hard tho A friend says it's engine characteristics with the air pushing through the vains.? Any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickwa Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The intake does when you press the accelerator. It does sound like a dump valve releasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I recon you should check your air intake hoses, sounds like you hvae a split on a rubber hose that might need replacing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 All petrol 16v Ford's I've heard seem to have a certain "woosh" sound on mild acceleration, sounds like throttle bodies opening and sucking air in, I'd say it's nothing to worry about.
