prodrive tony Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 After given it some on Sat for the first time, my car developed a whistle, sounds like its near turbo?? Its only on fall throttle above 3000rpm. All pipes seem as normal, any idea's??
mick_weatherill Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Roger whittaker behind the dash [] If your as old as me youll know who he is !!![]
tony_cousins Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Some old bloke who thought he was a bird lol Never did get it [:|]
prodrive tony Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 See you pulling on drive today mick about 1. Mate was driving or I would have stopped!!
granby Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Why are you giving it full throttle when your supposed to be running it in, or is it because you want to go and see that very nice mechanic at Brands Hatch again []

Dalthegooner Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 If you've got a full decat then it could just be the turbo spinning up.
prodrive tony Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Its deff not turbo spinning as ive never heard before. Dean is it the boost forcing open the Bailey dump valve slightly??
luke_clifton Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 this should be interesting to find out what it is... as mine does the same thing and you cab definatly feel the car hold back when this whistle occurs... probably a air leak tbh
Deano 666 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 could be matie, if you have had your FMIC pipes off lately might be worth double checking the tightness of your hose clips, might be leaking from a join, could be the DV, try disconnecting small hose off of valve, blanking the hose with a small bolt down the end, give it a run, see if the noise stops.
daniel Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I've got the same noise too, but i have already tried it without my dump valve and it still does it, I'm gonna check all my pipes again this weekend see if that makes any differance
baser999 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Perhaps you all caught tunnelrunitis from those Essex boys last weekend?
Deano 666 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 tony did you find the noise??????????????
prodrive tony Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 Ive got a work van so ive not had the chance. Plus Granby wont let me go over 3000 revs!!!!
prodrive tony Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Well happy, just found my whistle. [] Radiator fan body was loose and had rubbed through intercooler pipe!!! Big hole, big whistle and lost boost!! Not only that someone had blanked the old dump valve pipe with a piece of broomhandle!!! Lol. [Y]
prodrive tony Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 Quote was the handle anything to do with me???Been like it since I bought her []
