Re: Whistling noise on acceleration / ccv ??

Hi , no not yet.  I have been under car with someone working accelerator and can't seem to find the cause , nearly certain it's not from turbo but possibly a split hose .not much room to see anything , no loss in power or smoke at rear

Re: Whistling noise on acceleration / ccv ??

Yes I tried filler cap and it didn't blow it up or suck it in , it's not taking oil or water . I had cover off and filter housing out i could see nothing out of the ordinary . It's definitely coming from behind turbo towards back of engine

Re: Whistling noise on acceleration / ccv ??

I put a plastic glove over the dipstick hole and it filled with air , it sounds as if it is coming from the back of engine on the left side , it seems to go at around 1500 to 2000 revs when driving

Re: How to open boot with no battery connected

Open bonnet put jump leads from spare battery onto terminals under bonnet passenger side and you will get power back
