Just thought I`d post to say that what I thought was goosehonk is in fact a huuuge boost leak somewhere near my off side intercooler.

 

Trouble is that I`m not sure whether I`m more stupid because I thought goosehonk sounded like a boost leak or because I failed to notice where the sound was coming from........utterly.

 

Hey, it sounded like a damn goose to me!

 

 

Don't suppose anyone else has made this mistake?

 

 

 

 

No?

 

 

 

 

Ok then..........I`ll slip away and be embarrased in private then.:o

Hmm...I have yet to locate my leak(s). Had a bash today with a crappy little tyre inflator that struggles to put anything in and by the time I knock the noisy bleeder off all the pressure has escaped. I reckon I must have a couple of real corkers - found a couple recently but I'm going to struggle in those hard to get to places

:(

 

I reckon I may have something similar with my Intercooler - as well as a whole lot of honking I get a good whistle from the drivers side wing area when I'm on boost...

 

Thanks to Vijay for the 'dummy' nice piece of handywork..

 

Cheers!

glad it's helped mate.

Hmm I get loads of honking too since the boost was upped, for about 0mmhg to 3mmhg normally, might try checking for leaks.

Somebody mentioned a noise like 'blowing over the top of a bottle' the other day. I have always preferred this description for my 'honk' rather than goosehonk - goosehonk suggests a raucous, rough noise whereas mine is very soft and smooth (ooer my noise that is)

 

Anyone know if there is a difference in the two noises/problems/symptoms? Anyone heard the two and able to discriminate between them??

 

Cheese!

Mine's like blowing over the top of your bottle ;)
