Hi all ,
I wonder if anyone could help me with some advice.
I have a 55 plate Leon FR TDI and am a little worried about the turbo. I think i have power i'm not noticing anything major with regards to power but i do think the turbo seems very loud when you first put your foot down. It gives off more of a SHHHHHHH than a whistle, maybe like there is air escaping somewhere. As it gets higer up the revs though it seems to turn into more of a standard turbo whistle.
Does this sound normal for this car ? I don't know anyone else with one to compare unfortunately.
Is there anything i can go and check myself to see if pipes are off etc ?
I'm no mechanic but dont mind gettin under my car if you see what i mean.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin
