Hi everyone,

I just took delivery of my Sas OBX. Would love to meet up with folks in the area.

But, a few issues I was wondering maybe this group could help me with.

1. Whenever I accelerate (seems like when the 2.7 turbo is engaged) I hear this sound to the left of the driver side, almost by the lower left corner for the windshield. It sounds like air is rushing. Has anyone experienced this?

2. I don’t know what is going on, but this car attracts scratches (Area 51). Any suggestions on ways to patch them up?

3. 50 miles into my first trip taking the bronco to LA, the engine light comes on. Three issues noted in the Ford app. One is the the fuel filler cap is not aligned, which is weird because the bronco is cap less . Second is an issue with the evaporative emissions systems. Third is the power train module lost communication with the image processing unit for some period of time. I called the dealer and they said to keep going and bring it in when I am back. Not a fun thing to see an engine light at 200mi.

1 and 3 could be related. I've seen it where the tube running from the intake to the turbo pops off, that could set off an EVAP code. Take a quick peek under the hood and see if one of the tubes with a clamp is off. The attached photos are where I'd look first. Check all the turbo piping.

The third code is less concerning, as it's likely just a connection error with one of the cameras on the truck, could be an easy fix, could also be nothing.

On the scratch front, what type of scratches are we talking about, swirls, or what?

@Gloff Thanks for the great info. All the hoses seem attached. Is there a natural sound for the turbo? I didn’t hear that kind of sound my old VW diesel turbo, but that was years ago.

Here are the scratches. Attached to original post. Someone must have scratched it walking by or something. Super annoying. Would love to patch them up.

The turbo has a natural whoosh sound under heavy boost and when you let off the throttle from a boost event.

A good detail shop should be able to get that scratch out about 80-90%, it looks pretty deep.
