Nick Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 After Ford serviced my '97 TDi (180,000) I noticed my turbo whistles very loud when accelerating past the 2000/2250 RPM point. {It did whine before but I had to have the windows open and going past a wall to hear it}. If I take my foot out of the gas the whistle stops right away. The fuel consumption is a fantastic average of 45/47. Power is good, in fact other than having to turn the radio up to cover the whine the car is fine! Just wondered what other TDi owners experience was? Quote
seatkid Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 If its suddenly started to be very loud then something is wrong and could signal impending failure. :D Whistling turbos are unbalanced turbos. Maybe Ford service let some dirt into it or something. Quote
