Fluttering noise on boost
« on: May 12, 2012, 11:31:32 am »
Morning all. My car seems to be making a fluttering sound on boost. It's really noticeable when accelerating in 6th gear at around 3500rpm, sometimes in 5th gear too. I've just fitted a revision G diverter valve as the old one had a split diaphragm. It transformed the performance of the car but now notice the fluttering noise. Has anyone got any ideas? My mods are in my sig below.
Thanks in advance, Ash

Does it feel like the car is misfiring?

Doesn't feel like a misfire, had new coilpacks fitted at VW this morning and checked the plugs which are only 1500 miles old

Mine was fluttering and sort of hesitating (even after new plugs) at low revs under hard boost, so I reduced the gap on the spark plugs down to 0.67mm and it's spot on  :happy2:

Apparently high boost sort of blows the spark off the plug or something.

Hi mate,

Fluttering noise is normal. My Cupra does the same thing. It's controlling the boost level and is a normal occurrence.  If its not effecting the drive then don't worry about it.

Flutter noise is usually caused by boost control, totally normal.

Ah so it's normal then? Where dies the fluttering noise come from? It's running the standard ngk plugs, what should these be gapped to?
Cheers for the help so far!

It's the pcv/diverter valves controlling the amount of boost...

Hi mate. Yes normal function. I'm pretty sure plug gap is 0.8mm

It's the pcv/diverter valves controlling the amount of boost...

PCV - I hope not!

The PWM control of the n75 on a friend's 1.8t running a MBE had a very distinctive flutter from the exhaust. Relatively low frequency square waves it seemed, so it made distinctive pfft, pffft, pfft as it went down the road at full boost.

So it's totally normal for the N75 to make this fluttering sound then? Only I've never heard one make a noise before!
