noisey turbo 2.2dti

[craigbarlow18]

My turbo has always sounded like a whirring electric noise changing pitch depending on boost.

It boosts very well though and for a diesel produces very little if not any smoke.

My friends a mechanic he said its just cos its a variable vane turbo.

Ive not heard any other vecs make this noise but have heard it on other makes of cars

The only other vecs Ive hear (2.0 or 2.2 dti) sound like tractors compared to mine.. (no offence to anyone hear just not heard any one looked after)



Should I be worried

Correct me if i'm wrong but I didnt think the dti's had variable vein turbos.

pass just going on a comment mate. any suggestions to the noise then lol

Unless he didnt know it was a diesel or presumed vv's are on diesels too

The turbo on my old 2.2 dti sounded like that when the boost hose started to split. So just check the turbo boost hoses just in case.

you say turbo hoses. by this i presume you mean the larger pipes/
