sounds

Hay all I need help with a noise I've got that I'm worried about that sounds like a bearing of some sort I've not had alot of dealings with bearings going on car but this does sound like one. It's definately not a wheel bearing as I've listened going around corners and theres no more noise...

I've searched a lot of threads, but cant find anything simmilar. This happens mostly under load, like when i'm driving up a hill. In every gear between 2000-3000 rpm. It has been getting worse lately, thats why i'm beginning to think that theres something wrong. It was like this when i bought...

when you start it up and this was the same with the demo one I drove. It just sounds odd and a lot more like a diesel than a petrol car. I'm pretty sure they're probably all like this.. I'm just wondering if anyone knows why?

Hi im the proud new owner of a LCR. Although i have used the search facility i am still unsure of how to get a loud blow off sound from the LCR. I have been told i cant fit an atmospheric dv so how can i get a good loud sound? Thankyou in advance.

THIS SOUND ONLY HAPPENDS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR AFTER I FINISH WORK! I TURN THE ENGINE OVER AND IT STARTS TO MAKE A WHISTLING SOUND, LIKE SOME PRSSURE IS BEEN LOST. THIS HAPPENDS FOR A WHILE TILL THE ENGINE WARMS UP AND THE AUTO CHOKE TURNS OFF, AS SOON AS THE CHOKE FINISHES ANOTHER...

Last week or week before i did the N249 bypass.... now then as far as i can tell, i have checked all the pipes are in and there are no boost leaks at all... the DV (forge 007) now sounds different....almost a flutter......when you lift on.....rather than the nice kinda darth vader...

riiight this will be a tricky one to type out: i've got a BMC CDA on my 2.0l 16v, and when the cold air feed was placed where the foglight was it made an awesome sound, like a drilled airbox but louder. Now i've put a direct air feed (no where for the cold air to go but into the airbox) it...

As requested heres some sounds clips on my full milltek non res system:

I have had my cupra a week now and is it me or does the cupra tdi sound really good after 3.5K revs. I really like the sound. I noticed it more after fitting green filter. However the turbo sounds no where near as loud as on my leon??? Ta

been out today for a cross country drive of about 8 miles,the vrs hadn't even got to full working temp when i could here the turbo "fluttering" sounded almost the same as that laggy sound when heat soaked.but still pulled pretty strongly. having recently fitting of TIP i of course checked...

Ok first off i tried this for 2 minutes, booted down the road and back just to hear it, so dont try it and keep it permanent, but see what you think! if you unscrew the 2 screws that holds the top of the air filter box and lift it up slightly, start the engine then rev you'll notice a nice...

I am having a problem with my 1.8T. 80,000 miles I have had a REVO remap but i think this problem may have started before, but not to this extent. Car drives well and seems to be holding boost........but only when the boost level reaches maximum there is an almighty loud whistle. I mean this...

Does anyone elses leon cupra sound like a diesel on turn of the key?

my DV has started to sound really werid. :cry: i have a bailey rec DV and it started to sound more like a bloody flutter vavle! its only 5 months old. is it time for a forge? and what colour spring would you reccommend? cheers

Today leaving work i started my to find it sounding really rough!, i quickly open the bonnet and the noise was worse! As the car finished its warm up i started to look around but couldnt spot any obvious problems. each time i reved it sounded like a bad vibration. As i drove home the sound...

I am looking for some sound clips of any after market exhaust systems or back boxs etc on a 1.8 20VT cupra Could anyone with any sound clips post here cheers!:D

hey guys, my 1.6 leon is sounding abit strange when idling. i open the bonnet and the engine shakes and i get some funny noise from some belt kinda of like a ticking noise... sorry i dont have a clue about what to call the parts lol. took it to a seat garage and they said they changed all the...

Does anyone know if you can get a mp3 multidisc changer to replace the standard 6 disc CD unit? Can the standard HU handle the different format?

Finally had my milltek 200 cell cat and dp fitted along with upper S3 strut brace and oil temp sender. its sounds so nice, revs and spools better and harder and seems to be holding boost longer. it has a seriously nice rasp from 2.5 to 3.5k and burbles like a beast at idle. dead...

Has anyone else got problems when reversing and braking? When i reverse and brake it sounds like Chewy from starwars is sreaming at me from the back seat! My neighbours even complain that it wakes them up if i get back and park late at night. I have taken it in to 2 different dealers 3 times...
