huwr Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 For a few weeks my car has been whistling when accelerating and decelarting but not when travelling at constant speeds. But not a turbo whistle, more a kettle boiling kind of noise.I can see/feel no leaks in the exhaust or intercooler pipe work as at first I thought it was a boost leak.Performance doesnt seem to be affected much and the boost + vacuum readings havent changed.The noise seems to come from the passenger footwell area and is driving me mad. Any ideas? Quote

huwr Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 Have you recently fitted an air filter ?DamienNo. Ive ran the car with mesh, stock airbox and a filter reolcated in front of the air con and none of them used to do it. Quote
Starlet__SR Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Is it coming from the fuel filter? Has it ever been changed?Damien Quote

Marck glanza V Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 do you still have the standard recirculating valve because mine used to whistle Quote
