will be off to another dealler tomorow get second opinion didnt sound like it before so y now somethin not right
Mines sounded like that since I've had it.. Have done 14k miles in it and the dealers said it was meant to sound like that. No other garages that have driven it have mentioned it either!
Mines driving me crazy! Its constanly there in town/stop start driving. Although on the motorway its gone.
I can play tunes with mine
SEAT W.Livingstone in Uddingstone said to me it was normal.
The Foreman took it for a drive, and tried to say its so loud because the turbo is on the rear of the engine, up near the bulkhead. The sound comes into the cabin easily.
They also said, it would only be replaced if there was a loss of power or break down!

What a load of BS.
If one dealer changes it then another should. I wouldn't bother but they actually get paid for carrying out warranty work.
One of the worst things about Seat dealers is that there isnt enough of them. I've got a 25 mile drive to my closest one.

As my previous post above...mine was fine for 30k then all of a sudden a mooing / siren type noise , not effecting performance but really annoying especially when in slow traffic...
dealer did not even question it they took it out for a test drive and originally thought a pipe had come loose when i explained i had checked all these they then took a closer look at the turbo and ordered a new one straight away under warranty...if one replaces it then others should...

When i sit and leave my car to idle, after around 2 minutes, the sound appears and stay constantly. I have to blip the throttle to get rid of it, only for it to come back 2mins later!
Strange one. Also, if i idle, and pump the break pedal, i can get it to appear.
Yes, i have been bored on my lunch break!

Ive got a Owl "wooing" noise. Is this the same one?
Ive tried to take a video and sound clip of it, you will need to turn the sound up for the video.
I cant upload the sound clip yet.
Not the best i know.
Mine sounds exactly like that from day 1 of me owning it. I thought it sounded quite cool actually. I'm pretty sure it's not a fault, just the wooshing sound of the turbo. I have driven a few FR 170's and they all did it.

if your happy with it then i wouldnt worry, but as my car did not make the noise from day one it obviously is a fault, so had it sorted....
you can still hear the turbo spool up but nothing like that mooing noise now...oh and i dont get people giving me odd looks when i am going through a 30 zone wondering why my car sounds like a cow...
