Turbo whistle or not?

As ever, it's a process of elimination and always thinking positive - You'll always 'win' that way.

Do let us know what unfolds. :happy2:

I know it's happened to Gaz with his S3 but is the rubber ring still on the plastic piping that fits into the airbox at the maf side? In Gaz's case it was "lost" when he removed his air box.

Here's a pic of the O ring I refer to courtesy of SteveP.

You may have hit the nail on the head there Bacillus....

When I took the engine cover off that O ring fell off and it wouldn't reposition correctly - I think because the engine bay was hot and it's shape became deformed. Anyway,it was a tight fit but I managed to reconnect the piping around the O ring. I did have a suspiscion that the noise was to do with that.

But since I've refitted the engine cover I positioned the O ring perfectly and because the engine was cold it fitted well. But alas, the noise is still there!!

So what does turbo whistle sound like? Does it change with revs?

Thanks,
Chris.  :smiley:
