A BIT OF ADVISE REQUIRED PLEASE..
I HAVE HAD MY MY2000 STANDARD SCOOBY FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT HAVE NOTICED WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD I HAVE STARTED TO GET A WHISTLING NOISE FROM THE BEAST FROM 1000 RPM UPWARDS WHEN COLD AND DISAPPEARS WITHIN A MILE OR SO.THE WHISTLE IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ONE WHICH COMES IN AT 3000RPM(TURBO).MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY IS IT ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT?
P.S THE CAR ENGINE MAKES SOUND LIKE A TRAIN WHISTLE WHEN IT IS STARTED BRIEFLY TO PUT INTO THE GARAGE BUT IT HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS SO I AM NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THIS UNLESS IT IS LINKED....

ITS HARD TO DESCRIBE ACCURATLY BUT IF YOU REMEMBER THE KETTLES THAT USED TO HAVE WHISTLE ATTACHED TO THE SPOUT YOU WOULDN'T BE A MILLION MILES AWAY,MAYBE A LITTLE BIT DEEPER IN TONE...

Does it sound like blowing over a bottle top?
If so it sounds like a faulty BOV.

Hmm, BOV whistling at 1,000rpm? I'd have thought (have only known!) them to 'whistle' when on boost - they should be making sucky noises before that
Well, I've no idea! Aren't I helpful

I assume the whistle go up in pitch along with the revs? I get a high pitched whistle from mine from about 2000rpm upto about 3500. Has been diagnosed as a cracked compressor fin. Much more noticable when cold too.

Sounds funny, but does it change note / disappear when you turn the stearing wheel?
