Hi,
I saw this thread just now.I had some kind of problem too.
Last week,I started hearing hisssssing noise when i accelerate and the rpm goes above1500.Then when the car is in constant speed the noise is not there.While i was trying to find out, I posted the same in my Thread and as suggested by BHPians,I was analysing and then saw black smoke comming too.I was shattered and my vechile was nearing 15000km service too.
I wanted to find out correctly and then scanned my car and finally saw the service light comming.The power was totally down.I stopped the car and i called Tass and told them and they said it may be a turbo failure.I remembered my sierraturbo days and had the same kind fo problem then with the turbo.So.I prayed and restarted and the light was gone but the safari in underpowered with the noise.So,i drove slowly.

Yesterday morning I left my safari for the problem to be attended and i called the servise advisor now and then to find out what went wrong.Then he confirmed to me that there is some manufacturing defect in TURBO hose and he has to replace it.Then again he said he havnt got it yet. Then he said he has got a new one and he could not fix it and its comming off. And now at 3:00 he confirmed that all is fine and ok.I will be taking my safari by evening today.

Thank god,the problem is solved.
