Whistling!!

[BenYTB]

Hi,
Does anyone know about a whisling one a Leon. It's a 1.9tdifr 150 with about 65k on the clock.
You can hear the noise when you are pulling away between 1000 and 2000rpm then after that i think the engine noise drowns it out.
It's defo not the sound of the turbo it's like some one is actually whistling in my car and as the revs build up the noise gets higher.
Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem whith theres.
thanks!!!

beliece its just the noise m8, mines pretty loud , am convinced theres a boost leek somewhere

could be a boost leak if its loud. Have you got a performance air filter fitted? they can make the turbo sound louder (more whistley).

Sounds like mine, but holds psi fine.

i get a loud whistle too. got it after i fitted my boost gauge and im reading 10psi. is 10psi about right for standard? i searched on here which said it was but just wanting to double check

Does the noise change when cornering, accelerating, when at certain rev ranges etc. It may something from under the bonnet, but it could also be a good ol' fashioned wheel bearing on the way out.

do a search on WooosHHhhh, or something like that, There is lots on the PD150 Noises between those Rpm's.
Apparently the Norm

No mate nothing like a wheel bearing.

It does it while I'm accelerating from stand still and it get higher pitched as i go faster so i think it could be a boost leak. i can hear it better from inside the car rather than with my head under the bonnet!!
