Hi everyone! Few days ago i drove my pug from work and suddenly i realised that it lost power rapidly. my pug is 2.0 SRI and now it feels like im driving a 1.1 something. the weird thing is that when i accelerate it sounds like its blowing out of rear exhaust box. sounds like a wind blow but the engine is running fine thou. i have recently fitted the cold air intake thou. is thare any chance it has something to do with air intake system? please help!!!

Hi there.Its sounds to me that a turbo/intercooler/breather pipe has come off.(i`m assuming it is turbo`d being an sri)I`ve had this on my old Xantia TD,my current HDI,& recently had to fix my brothers Seat Leon Cupra R all because a pipe had come off.On all occasions ,when putting you foot down it sounds like your exhaust is blowing,but coming fron the engine bay.
Check all turbo & intercooler pipes,breather pipes,& your air intake pipes.I`m sure you`ll find a loose pipe or missing jubilie clip. Or at worst a split pipe.
As with the cars above,they still ran fine,with no smoke etc,but just had no power when you floored it

thanx for your help hammerman,i'll definitely check them all right away.
