Hi guys. I've recently noticed a whistling noise when accelerating on my 02 Turbo. Is this a normal sound to hear? I may be just being paranoid as I've noticed another noise (which is either tyres or wheel bearing) recently too. All help appreciated.

The gauge is reading 0.0 bar at 30mph when I first hear it, whistling gets louder the harder i accelerate.

Thanks. Mike

Look at this TSB. Depend if it goes away after depressing the clutch.... Also take a look at your steering reservoir level....

Thanks. The noise disappears when I press the clutch. Fluid is low when tested due to a leak at the front I've discovered. May also explain the spoiler issues. Car now booked in at my specialist. Cheers for the help.

Whistling was coming from the steering pump due to low level. Transfer of fluid from steering reservoir to clutch reservoir is due to a faulty slave. But I don't see why the spoiler can be part of your problem. I think it is a complete different story...

It gives the error message when raising, intermittent fault though. Thought it may be hydraulics again based on the TSB on her re spoilers

Not sure on the recall bit Tom. I paid for my fix, was a seized turbo. Whistling has gone now but the leak fixed at same time.
