For a few days now I have noticed a whining\whistling sound from the passenger side of the engine when accellerating gently.

The noise seemed to go away when the car started to pull properly.

 

Tonight I went out for a spin and the whistling/whining was quite loud and there was very little power.

 

I stopped at a garage for a few minutes came back to the car and everything was fine.

I booted it to about 80-85 on the way home and the car was pulling like a train.

When I got home the car stank of very hot engine Burning maybe?) , from both sides of the car.

 

Does it sound like one of my Turbos is about to give up the ghost?

 

:(:(:(

i would have thought if it was a turbo problem then it would be worst when you give it some welly, ill leave this one to the experts :p

I didn't think of that.

 

Mmmmm...

I hope someone can diagnose the problem so I know how much to start saving :(

Boost leak??? check out the pipes in the bay plus and more likely the pipes to the intercooler that side maybe loose.

Hi Jeff,

I believe I spoke to you today on the phone :)

Just wanted to say thanks for your advice and help, I'll get it booked in for you to give it some lurving :p as soon as I have some cash, just in-case something is seriously broken.

 

BTW:

The car knows...

She ran like a dream on the way home tonight, it's when the car is running perfectly makes me realise just how damn good these cars are to drive :D:D

Fingers crossed she's going to carry on being a good girl, well till I can get her to Zedworld anyway ;)
