Strange whistling noise when driving? Any ideas??
Hi
I've got a MY00 classic, standard engine\turbo with a re-circ dump valve.
The other night i was driving and noticed a strange constant whistling noise when doing 40mph+. Can only hear it with the drivers window open so i think its something outside and on that side of the car??
Anyone have any ideas on this?
It does it around 40mph no matter what gear i'm in and whether i am coasting along or driving normally.
If i put my foot down it seems to go but cant be sure as the wind noise\turbos\engine makes its presence felt!!! If i slow below 40 it disappears.
Hope its nothing bad.. (turbo leaking air?)
Any ideas?

check the intake hose as these can warp under the turbos heat did so on my97 replaced with samco not cheap but worth it tricky to work on also as runs under inlet and tight fit with power steering pump

I too have a MY00 classic that does exactly the same!
The whistling started about 2 weeks after I bought it, I presumed it was leaking air from the turbo. I found 2 pipes that were coming loose, tightened them all down and no difference!!
It never occured to me it could be a wing-mirror or wiperblade!!

no its more like a high pitched wind noise... dont think the cars had a new screen, i've had it just over a month and theres nothing in the history... and the sound is very much 'outside' the car..
