#1: HDI Whistling noise!! Author: 3pasties, Location: West SussexPosted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 10:24 am ---- Hi,
I've recently bought a 1.6 HDI GTI and have found that the car makes a whining/whistling noise when accelerating. I know from previous experience with Peugeot diesels (306 D turbo) that the turbos are quite noisy.
This noise happens between 1000-2000 RPM and in 4th or 5th gear and only when i'm accelerating.
I have had the car checked out at a Peugeot dealer, and they tested the turbo which came back fine.
I just wanted to ask you guys opinion, is it just that the HDI turbo's are normaly noisy, or is it something else which could be making the noise?
Cheers!

This turbo is only 1000miles old and noise is amplified with the de-cat.

It doesn't do anything between say 15mph and 50mph but in 1st gear and 5th gear it whistles a bit. I always thought it was the turbo really and thought nothing of it.

I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't something seriously wrong. The car has only done 21,000 miles so I didn't expect that the turbo should be on its way out yet!
