Theres a funny noise :)

Im completely new to turbo's/turbo'd cars so I dont know what they are ment to sound like etc

 

But when accelerating in low revs for exmaple 20 to 25 in 3rd gear, or 30 to 35 in 4th gear there seems to be a funny noise coming from the engine (i think?)

like a whirring, i wanna say raspy yet rattly?

 

I could nail the car from 10 to 50 or whatever in second and the noise wont be there.

 

Cheers in advance

Turbo heat shield?

I honestly have no idea mate im a complete mechanic newbie. Where is it and how do I check it ? :confused:

I bought that Wine Red SWB TT off of Kirbz, Picked it up yesterday.

sounds like the clutch, the twin plates do make quite a bit of noise, now and again its worth giving it a real good launch to clean the plates off and see if that helps

 

could be something else but it sounds like a gearbox/clutch noise to me as its only doing it in a low gear at low speeds.

 

anyway thats easy to solve, dont drive slow :D

 

i also think when you get a new car you listen for everything and wonder whats that etc, i know i do it when i get a new car LOL

 

how was the trip back pete??

I did wonder if it was the clutch mate can it make noise when engaged in gear as well then ?

 

Drive home went well mate :)

Such a difference in speed lol

Does it sound like water 'slurping'?

 

:D

 

If so dont worry about it.

any other suggestions? or more then likely the twin plate clutch then ?

I would agree with clutch. Mine does a similar thing at low revs in 2nd.

I had an auto for two years and now I have a manwell, does sound different and I would reckon it’s the gearbox. Wouldn’t say there was any problem with it, works fine to me.

Could it be the drive shaft vibrating with different engine tones if the bearing is worn?
