strange

firstly, I have a TDi FR. just want to check with people it this is normal as i have just noticed. After the car has been started for a minute. dab the throttle then lift off. rev to about 1500-2000 rpm. as the rev's drop i hear a whirring noise. it's not the same noise as the turbo whine...

Most noticeable when in 3rd just below 2000rpm put foot to the floor, then fades out at around 2500rpm. Sounds a bit like what i would say a boost leak would sound like. (never had a boost leak so cant say for certain) No smoke pulls well does it a slight bit in 4th aswell, Car is an...

Hi Guys First time posting here. I have a 2007 Seat Ibiza 1.4 Sport and she is due for her first 10k service and I have had the spanner symbol and the milage countdown appear on the led screen on the dash and thats fine, she is booked in for a service next week. But just when I am...

I have noticed recently a strange noise when slowly braking to a stop coming from the rear of the car. Sounds a bit like when the disc brakes get all rusty after they get wet or are washed. Normally that sound disappears after the brakes are used, but this sound will not go away however much I...

hey guys any ideas what this could be? yesterday i travelled 15 miles on the motorway at 70 to 80 mph drove in to the town in the traffic at around 20 mph but i had a grinding noise and vibration through the steering worse if i turned left, i drove back down the motorway at 60 and the noise...

When i brake a get a horrible clicking noise and then again when i take up drive. it comes from both sides at the front. Ive changed the wishbone bushes, checked the ball joints. Greased up the subframe mountings but nothing works. the noise sounds really quite bad. it is as if something moves...

Jut noticed something really strange in my tdi tonight. AS i put it into reverse gear theres a quiet fan noise seems to start up under the glovebox area but cant find any kind of draught from anywhere, back into neutral and it stops. Its a different kind of fan noise to the normal heating...

had this problem for a while now. Basically under load I get what sounds like a single cylinder miss fire, the car also won't hold boost and will start to drop at around 5k. I also had the engine management light flash on and off for half a minute. I think this could be down to a spark...

:confused:Hey, For a week or so my car has felt a little 'down on power', however today i watched the boost gauge quiet closely whilst driving (not looked at it in ages), and whilst giving it the beans the boost was peaking about 14-15psi, and dropping to about 10psi However the car used...

I've had my FR TDi since March, and not really had any issues (apart from faulty exhaust sensor within 1 week of buying the car). Now I have two problems at once : 1.) My CD player keeps playing up... the CD playing just seems to stop, then I can't eject the CD, and it gives me a "CD...

When my Leon tdi has been parked up for a day or 2 and i start off in reverse there is a grinding noise just as the car starts to move . Lasts only a second and car drives perfectly well thereon - Anyone got any idea what it is ?

2001 Alhambra 115PD The NSF Tyre has ~3mm tread all over except for about a 60 degree section on the outside edge, that is worn to 'visible tread' only. Any ideas? Also what to replace them with? We live in Aberdeen and get a 'bit' of snow most winters. Thanks AD90

I've just been out in my car and have noticed this noise. When i take a left hand turn i can hear this scrubbing sort of noise from the rear of the car. I had a quick look at the wheels, brakes and wheels arches but can't see any marks. Has anyone else heard of this or had this problem?

I'm sorry to post yet another boost thread but here I go anyway because mine is a bit strange :) Basically when I plant it in 5th gear my boost often takes a couple of seconds to settle and bounces around a little. ie it normally will spike at 21 psi, fall to 17 then settle at about 19-20...

Hi all, i have a weird noise coming from my turbo, its like a noise of a belt that is slack, but i have had it checked by a mate of mine, and as far as he can see everything is ok, he thought it might be a split or loose pipe but all these seem to be ok aswell. i haven noticed any loss...

Noticed this car for sale about a month ago on Pistonheads, when I was looking for mine. Looked very nice; but was sold, apparently? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/255835.htm Now, 46 days later; the exact same car, even the same pics; but 33bhp less and £1000 more!! Wtf? Either the car's...

Was putting Dielectric Silicone onto my MAF connection tonight and while doing it I could hear this strange noise... it seems to be coming from the front right of my car. The car had been powered off for about 30 minutes at this time... I've made a recording on my mobile and uploaded it...
