Hi,
A few days ago, my LR started to whistle. It sort of rises with the revs (when driven or stationary) then dies down when the revs are let off. It sometimes sounds a bit like a sort of wet warbly whistle - but that might just be my imagination?
I took it in to a landrover garage and they checked for a split in the exhaust pipe and checked the waste gate arm (movement) and listened to it but strangely you can't hear anything under the bonnet, only when you sit inside or drive it and then it's loud.
There's also no loss of power!
I've searched the forum and found some really good stuff e.g. split flexible downpipe on the oldr mesh ones and mine looks like a metal mesh filter thing also the split hose, but mechanic said that would cause a loss of power so probably not that. Also checked the airfilter to make sure it's shutting properly - that seems ok.
Could it be that the Turbo has just gone noisy?
Anyhow - any ideas or suggestions would be great.
Cheers
Andy
