Whistling turbo

[madcampbell]

Ive started to hear the Turbo Whistling at low revs, A couple of times I have messed up on the clutch and reved too hard and the turbo then kicks in with no power and does this throught all the gears then settles.


Is this a sign of problems to come??

Anyone else had this?

Thanks, Ive just never heard it before...then again I was on holiday with the family and the music was turned far too low at times!

Is that normal about messing up on the clutch and messing up the revs at the same time resulting in the turbo giving up ..lots of noise no power?

as long as the green turbo light comes on and theres no orange check light everything should be fine.as for the gear change it just take a bit of getting use too.

It's perfectly normal. One thing which can make it more audible is if there's a leak/hole in your front exhaust pipe, so may be worth checking that.
