[quote="henrym3"] Not sure you would hear any at idle and your problem is at speed and kickdown, If not absolutely 100% sure then I would recommend renewing vacuum pipes otherwise you could end up chasing your tail and spending big money.

Re: 4521 code
it was built dec 2005. I've checked all the vacum pipes with a little pressure gauge and none is leaking. Also took off the little valve by the turbo and checked the little air filter etc, and vacum checked it. All good

Re: Radio noise!! HELP!!
Thank you. I’m expecting this to be the source of the problem then. It’s just a irritating low pitch whistle and when I take fuse out it stops, but no radio. Nav and tv still work though

Radio noise!! HELP!!
Ok, just spent nearly a grand on new turbo because of whistle in cab! Still whistling!! Took radio fuse out, fuse 73 in the boot compartment, and noise or whistle stops!! Could I fit a cheap suppressor to eliminate this, anyone know?

Newbie & turbo issue!
Have 2005 3.0 diesel. Had low frequency whistle inside cabin and was diagnosed as turbo. Had new turbo fitted, decent one from GSF, and it is EXACTLY the same! Anyone any ideas?
