Hi Guys,
I have a diesel-auto-GXL with 11,000 on the clock, serviced at 9,500km.
Over the last couple of days I have noticed a low ‘whistle’ coming from the engine bay when accelerating moderately. It only seems to occur when the engine has moderate load, i.e. won’t do it on even gently sloping down hills or when under heavy acceleration (motor noise drowns it out?). With very careful throttle control I can get the whistle to stop or continue until at the desired speed.
Is it turbo related? I’m familiar with normal ‘turbo whistle’. This is a deeper noise. I have been pretty good at letting everything idle down after high speed runs.
Any ideas? Thanks for your time.
