My experience is not an intake whine, as I don't have one... the noise appears when the car is in the lower gears and relatively low gears [1 -3]

x2 I guess the whistle (or "hoot" in some instances) may just be induction noise around the 3k-4k mark. Happens on occasion.

Seriously, turbocharged cars whistle and hoot and fart and burp and chaff and make all sorts of other funny noises. Don't worry until it breaks  :driver:

/this is probably bad advice

This will sound like (and is!) a silly question but how high pitched is the noise you are getting?

I have what I would describe as a high pitched buzz from my engine but only under gentle acceleration in lower gears up to about 3000rpm. Under heavier load it's not as noticeable. I too had wondered if this would be fuel pump related.

I've not been able to trace the source and beyond replacing random parts at great expense I've resigned myself to it being a 'feature' of the car and will just have to worry about it if or when it gets worse or something goes pop!

VW had a look at mine. Advice was to ignore it unless there's a loss of power or something breaks. Cheers then  :signLOL:

I used to run a Volvo S60 with intergalactic mileage which made all manner of clunks, bangs, rattles, knocks and squeeks. I was told this was perfectly normal for an old Volvo... the point at which you start to worry is when it stops making noises!!  :laugh:

Think maybe the twintake should of hid it but it hasn't, its not really high pitched! I did replace the cam follower as I also thought it may have been that but it wasn't! Plus I think if it was the pump then it would make it from tick over! I'm hoping its the return valve as maybe the HPFP is asking from more than it can give?? Either way its another mod I guess!!

where abouts are you mate as if your near to me i will quite happily help / fit it for you. Its a paint because the fuel lines need to be disconnected from the hpfp so that you can gain enough access but im sure i will find it easier second time round  :signLOL: im down in bournemouth. All i can say is i had the same problem and searched the net until i came accross the rs4 valve. spoke to APD who are vag tuning specialists and they said that shoudl sort the problem and it did. I was in the same situation and some people like above will say leave it till it breaks but i worry too much so found this as my solution.  :happy2:

Yea I worry too much as well! A hand would be really good! I'm In essex so no the end of the world! Got my S3 cooler to fit this weekend so in a few weeks that would be a great help! Especially from someone who's fitted it before!

no problem mate just message me and will sort something else. Make sure you have another pair of hands doing the cooler. Fit my THS a few months back and it would have been so difficult on my own. Only took a few hours too. It you struggle with anythin let me know as THS supply a manual for fitment. Shud probably get it up on the how to at some point. Just alot of scanning  :signLOL: :fighting2:
