## Discrepancy

THE NR 1 ENGINE EPR WENT TO ZERO ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD BANG AT 5,000 FEET WITH CLIMB POWER LEAVING EWR.  THE NR 1 ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO EWR WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE NR 1 ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.  LEAK AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.  *S/D*  SHOP FINDINGS REVEALED T-2 VANE FAILURE AS PRIMARY CAUSE.
