Hi,

I have a mark 2 Mondeo, with about 125000 on the clock.

On accelleration it makes a "hissing" noise.

I've got a P reg 2.0 ghia outside. It made a hissing noise once. It
turned out to be a collapsed cat. converter, which was causing back
pressure in the exhaust system. This in turn caused a hose to an
exhaust gas meter on the bulkhead of some sort (I can't be bothered to
get the bookout ust now) to blow off. THIS was the hiss, but the cat
was the cause.

Worth checking all rubber hoses. Follow them back from the big metal
pipe coming out of the exhaust header.
