[Sir Tigger KC]

On my Ford Mondeo 2.2 Tdci I've noticed today a loud whooshing sound when accelerating. 

I havn't had a chance to investigate yet, but I'm assuming it's turbo related and probably a split boost pipe before the inlet manifold.   

The car starts and runs well otherwise.    Any thoughts chaps?  TIA! 

[STEMO]

Young kids pay money to make it sound like that, innit?

[Sir Tigger KC]

Maybe it's a good selling point! 

Goes well with a nice whoooshing sound!

I do like the Mondeo, although obviously without the engine from a cement mixer.

Personally I would torch it and claim on the insurance. This is not strictly legal but.......... .

I like my Mondeo and the 2.2 Tdci is surprisingly quiet and quick! 

You should try one out M'lud! 

My Uncle has the 2.2 petrol Mondeo Vignale and that's very nice! 

Dosn't go whooosh though!

Had a test drive in an ST 220 once. Nice car.

Which 2.2 is it?

155, 175, 200?

Yesterday my Mondeo stopped whooshing and went into limp mode with the eml light on. 

Luckily I found a split in the turbo boost pipe where it goes into the inlet manifold.    I removed the pipe and 'fixed' it with a wrap of duck tape overlaid with a wrap of packing tape. 

I cleared the codes, it's now going OK and the EML light has stayed off.    I was worried that the turbo had packed up which would have been expensive I'm sure!

Now flog it and buy a car that runs on proper fuel.

I was tempted by a Range Rover with a supercharged 4.2V8 and an LPG kit the other day!

The smaller supercharged V8 will be nippy enough. I'm not a fan of the 'Range Rooney' though.

I loved my Mondeo Mk4 with the 2.5T Volvo engine, however, now get double the mpg and £30 a year road tax from the newer one running on the black stuff ......

No such thing as a Vignale 2.2 petrol
