(There were also other issues with the brakes grabbing) There’s definitely an issue with the turbos on this engine. Some have it some don’t, mines now at 1800 miles with zero whine or whistle whatsoever. How many miles now?
Turbo Whine/Whistle
Definitely a whistle. Anyone know how I can post a recording?Plyphon wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 4:15 pm It might be worth defining the noise your hearing - theres a clear difference between healthy/happy turbo whistle and "oh shit thats gonna blow" noises.

What does turbo whistle sound like?
As the name suggests, a turbo whistle sounds like a high pitched whistle or whining sound, heard when the turbocharger kicks in as you accelerate and the revs go up.
For some people, a turbo whistle can be annoying, but to others, it’s actually desirable! In fact, some people purchase aftermarket ‘turbo whistler’ devices that fit inside the exhaust of a vehicle to mimic the sound of the turbo whistle.
A turbo whistle shouldn’t be confused with a police siren or dentist’s drill sound – this is likely to be a sign of something more serious, like compressor wheel damage.
So yeh, dentists drill or 'police siren' sounds (no idea what that means) is bad. The 'good' sound I hear from my turbo is more space-age scii-fi noise, not a 'whine' as such.
Try recording as a video and then post it from your picture gallery as you would a photo??

If the turbo is failing there's a good chance you'll have a smoke screen behind you and be down on power!!!

Ok Technicians - all with a different opinion
Our replacement Seat makes more Turbo noise and it is supposed to be exactly the same as the old one
Do I care

They do vary, i had a test drive in a new Zetor a few years ago and all you could hear was turbo whine, had to put on ear defenders after a few minutes.
They didn't get a sale!
