Ford Galaxy 2007 Strange Noise (whistling) When Accelerating

[yustheman]

hello i have a 57 zetec galaxy mk3 and when driving up a hill i have noticed a whistling noise that is abnormal. The Turbo seems to work fine, i originally thought that it needed a good drive on the motorway to probably unclog the gunk, so i did this and afterwards the noise has gone but now it has comeback with a vengeance.

Thank You

 

ps. Any ideas on what it could be.

Could be a turbo problem, a split pipe somewhere, or even something driven by the auxiliary belt.

 

You may have better luck asking in the Mk III Technical Section.

Have you had a look at your intercooler for holes or damage?

If you look through your lower grille under the number plate you should be able to see it with a torch, just check for damage.
