OK, so driving home from visiting a mate last night and heard what I thought was an emergency services vehicle siren. After checking rear vision mirror, looking around, could not see anything. A few minutes later realized that it was coming from my car!!! It was very faint, but seemed to get slightly lounder on getting home.
This morning I got under the car after thinking maybe i had a loose exhaust and the turbo whistle was a bit louder than normal. couldnt see any leaks (I have an EGT gauge fitted post turbo) and wiggled the flexible joint just back from the first mufler/cat converter. felt a bit loose so went to tighten it but was at maximum. Started up the vehicle and it almost sounds like an alternator bearing, but quiet at idle whistle noise when reving...
I got the missus to come and blip the throttle a few times (damn fly by wire accelerators) and it seems the noise is coming from the front of the engine, around the timing cover?? I have only done just over 37K klms, not sure what is going on....
anyone had or have a similar experience????
