As above really - but only after booting it for a few minutes.

MY98 UK turbo, standard appart from full de-cat stainless steel Scoobysport.

Any suggestions - loose belt, knackered pump etc? I have had the problem for ages but only thought to mention it now.

The whine only applies when the front wheels are not straight.

Does that work? The levels seem OK.

usually whine when not on full..

So I assume that there is nothing bad then? If so, I will top her up this weekend.

Mines also a MY98 UK turbo and its aways whined too. Usually only really bad after a thrashing.

I recently done a cambelt change after which it whined really really bad all the time.

Slackened the belt off a bit thinking I'd done it too tight but it was only very slightly better.

Topped up fluid to just above mark and it was a quite a bit better but still louder than it was before.

Filled it up to the brim and its now virtually silent.

I ordered a new bearing a few days ago thinking it was that. Picked it up today but haven't had a chance to fit it yet. Seeing as the level makes a difference to what noise it makes I can't see it curing anything.

I'll strip it to bits when i get the chance and see what I can see. Must be a seal of some kind somewhere.
