Turbo Whistle... Possible Fault??
gazbutS3:
Its the diverter valve, basically does what a dump valve does, releases boost preesure on closed throttle :smiley:
shamrock:
My s3 whistles in fifth gear only at a specific rpm. Is this that noise?
Pullafacial:
Don't think so shamrock. All seems fine driving at constant speed.
Problem is when I floor it, it picks up strong for a split second then the turbo whistle turns in to a noise like escaping air and power is immediatley down.
Anyone know if I can pop the dv out without getting the car on ramps?

not on a regular GTI, you really need it on axle stands at least as its bolted directly to the turbo

Just booked it in for next week at the garage I bought it from to have a look and investigate a wheel bearing noise as well.
Also, just booked getting my seriously scuffed 18" Monzas in for a "black" makeover aswell.
Can't wait to see the results.
