Car sounding like a hoover - 17/09/2019 16:27
Hi,
I’ve recently noticed that my car is noisy when flooring the throttle, above 2500-3000 RPM (once the turbo starts its magic) and sounds like a hoover. If I release the throttle it’s OK.
I checked all the intake pipes (from the turbo to the airbox, from the airbox to the throttle body), cleaned them, refitted them and tightened them correctly but it still sounds like it’s sucking/releasing air somewhere. Maybe it’s normal but I doubt as I don’t remember hearing this sound before.
What could cause this noise ? I noticed the exhaust tailpipe is perforated by rust on the welding but it’s probably not related.
Thanks
