Never heard of an fpr hissing. Do you have an associated. Leak?
Is the hissing from the fpr or could it be from the exhaust manifold? Only Alcohol Can Save me Now

I wonder if it is just air in the fuel being circulated around the head area? Confused

honestly it sounds like a air leak and thats without the engine running

yes the exhaust manifold is blowing but as said the engine is not running when you can hear the noise
is it common for the manifold studs to snap without it being tuned as the very front 2 were allready sheared off and the manifold was out by about 5 mm

I still think it is the sound of air in the fuel running around the FPR/Head/Cooler...

Take a closer look by running a purge cycle by pressing the throttle down 5 times with ignition on. Then try to track it down more closely.

The fuel pressure is (or should be) at 4 bar so if there was a leak of any type, it would involve diesel leaking.
