High pitched noise on acceleration
« on: August 29, 2011, 03:53:17 pm »
I may have asked this before but, when I accelerate I hear a high pitched noise, I thought it may have been the fuel pump but when I took it to amd they said it couldn't be that as it would make it from tick over! I can even hear it over my twin take! Any any amy ideas!!!

Mine does this. No idea what it might be but like you say it doesn't appear to impact on performance. Is yours only during heavy acceleration?

Is it like a squeek noise rather than a whistle?

Does it happen under load and at idle, or just when its 'on boost' ?

No doesn't happen on idle at all! Only when boosting! Just changed to version D in last few days and that hasn't helped!! At wits end with it!!

Mine does something similar, may be the same thing. I get a squealing/whistling in the wind type noise between 3 and 4k rpm (when boost is at its peak I believe) under hard acceleration. It may be something to do with the air whistling against something in the pipework or a very minor leak. My next move is to change Revo to stock or wind the boost right down to see what happens.

Could be a boost leak or the turbo on it's way out........
Does it sound like a dentists drill?? If so more than likely the turbo........ :scared:
