after a blast against a Clio 16v,,I noticed a loss of boost pressure and a weird hissing noise under the bonnet.. As usual it's pitch black n I carnt see anything,, I hope it's just a split hose or something silly any ideas lads? :confused:
Also started back popping n revs went a little high.

Hissing even off boost? could it be a vacuum pipe? hard to guess really, could be lots of different things.

Could be anything. Check all the boost hose connections are tight, no splits in vacuum hoses around carb and inlet. Could be manifold gasket leaking or carb top leaking where it joins the carb.

Ai, I bet it's just a boost hose connection that's come adrift.
