Scott_GT Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hi guy need some advise of what to do. Ill start with the simptons. Judery, Popping noise when pulling off or when drove slugshly ( like driving in 5 gear when should be in 3rd) Lack of power.This is what i have now. When it started, i had a leaky down pipe/cat, to midbox and i kept getting juddery driving and loud popping noises which sounded like it was coming from under the car where the leak was. We check undernieth and realise the cat was gone, so i removed all the platimun from it and we refifted it but still it was judery and poping, When we had the bonnet up reving it and it popped it sounded like it was coming fom the back of the engine. Also there is some kind of breather pipe on the back of the manifold which goes somewere to the bottom end i think, just under the dizzy. That pipe seems to have perrished, and also you can here air pissing out of it. I dont no what to do really i cant really afford for somone to take it apart to look at it, but my mate thinks the popping noise is coming from inside the head, Valves he says.? I hope i have gave enough desciption as possible, sorry if its all over the place, its a 2000 x reg 1.6 16v zetec escort finesse. Any help apriciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo2000 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Replace the perished hose and see what that's like, it's not going to get any better if you have a vacuum leak. You might want to replace the CAT too, you won't pass the next MOT... Finally, Welcome to the site, enjoy your stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_GT Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 ok cheers, does any one no what the hose it called? i went to a ford garage but the bloke diddnt have a clue what hose i was on about.

stoo2000 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 It's just vacuum hose, you can get it at most car places... here's some on eBay ^ That might not be the right size, that's something you would need to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
