Title: Woosh sound while accelerating Mk5 GTI
Post by: Bennz on July 15, 2014, 05:23:39 am

Hi all,

Just want to ensure I'm not confusing this with an issue or the normal sound.

I noticed a woosh sound when I press the accelerator while driving ( sound is audible when window is down ) . It comes when accelerating fast and can't be heard when engine is not under pressure. It stops when accelerator pedal is released.

Is this the normal turbo spooling or faulty DV ?

Does the turbo in these cars make sound as well or it is relatively quite ? Will check the DV shortly

The car is fully stock . I don't think I have performance loss but unfortunately I don't have access to another mk5 GTI to confirm .
Does the turbo in these engines makes audible spooling up sound ?

Get live logging with vcds under load.. but most likely nothing...if the performance isnt affected. Any overboost/underboost would cause limp mode anyway..visual inspection or remove dv valve quick check..

Thus happened to me and it was the dv loosing boost, I changed it for a metal piston style one from awsome gti and it made all the difference
