golfpaul Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi all. 2002 2.0 130 Just recently have started to hear a noticeable whistle on acceleration. I imagine this is turbo related but have no idea where to start. No other symptoms and no increase in smoke - so am stumped. Any advice appreciated.

TomsFocus Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Its probably a loose or damaged boost pipe bewteen the turbo and manifold. But could also be a gasket for the EGR etc. Can you get someone else to rev it while you listen under the bonnet to try and pinpoint the area the noise is coming from?

golfpaul Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah that was gonna be my next move :) Is it still ok to drive in the meantime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah it should be fine, though obviously keep an eye for any other symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Will be turbo intercooler hose from egr area to intercooler, remove engine cover if you have one and look down at rubber hose in left side of engine as you look at it, put your hand on it and feel for a split in pipe/ oil leak. About 2ins down pipe normally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpaul Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Still can't find the source of the whistling, it's a Euro 3 if that makes any difference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
