TURBO NOISE ON MY05WRX
Have said car above with ppp,anyone else experience a noise which i can hardlt describe as a sort or crackling / rampant tapping noise when the turbo spools up, it normally clears after 4000rpm or do you have a sweet turbo spool up noise
just curious as mine has seemed to lack power ever since i got it and comapred it to my previous MY95 WRX import! cheers Mickey |
Im pretty sure mine makes the same noise yours does m8, i wouldnt worry.
|
mine does it too, thought it was knock when I bought the car. Think it's actually the solenoid on the turbo
|
I don't get anything like that on mine - how loud is it?
|
not too loud but it sounds a bit embarrasing as you rive through a town centre with the nice burble and its ruined by the ticking noise, i have to have the windows down to hear it but am going to subaru on friday so they can hear it but i guess i'll probs be fobbed off!
|
there have been a few posts saying it could be the solenoid on the turbo as its always had a weird noise on low rev spool up which clears after 4000rpm!
|
05 wrx and nope, no ticking on spoolu-up I'm afraid..!;)
|
05 wrx and no ticking on spool-up either:wonder:
|
do you guys have a clear spool up noise like a jet engine winding up for instance?
|
I have the same noise on my 04sti when the turbo spools up between 2000-3000rpm.My previous sti did not do it.
Have taken it to the dealer but they say that they can not hear it. Like you say you can hear it mostly around town. Lee |
heatshield?
|
The dealer did check my heatshields and said they are ok.
(If i can trust them) Lee |
Got a similar noise on my 06wrx between 2000-3000rpm. Had it in at a dealer on tuesday and they spoke to Subaru technical who said that it was ok. The dealer are getting another 06 WRX in to compare mine against as they agree it doesn't sound right. Hopefully they'll get it sorted in the next week or two
|
Can you tell us how you get on & if they can find the problem.
Lee |
My 04 WRX sounds like a jet engine, no knocking noise on mine.
|
No noise on my WRX 05 PPP.
|
i can hear it mostly down country lanes or around town, its a slightly faint noise but its definatly there, was due to be at suabru today but had to put it off and anyway iam just expecting them to take it in for a few hours waste my day off without a car and then get it back being told theres nowt wrong with it!
sad when you pay your hard earned and once they have it they couldnt give a toss |
am hoping that if they cant find it it might go away after my 10,000 miles service!
hopefully! |
Mine started doing it after the remap - if its the same, I think it sounds pretty good :D
|
i get a very strange noise above 3.5k, i thinkeling sound,
but then i know everything about my engine is, well, lets just leave it at not right...... its intermittant as well john |
I just get lots of whistling on mine and I've gone thru' standard, PPP and Decat states of tune. A cracking noise on spooling up doesn't sound normal to me. If you'd said after turning off the car then fair enough. Could be heat shield either for the turbo or even the downpipe. If it is solenoid then it's not a normal noise and perhaps there is a batch of cars with this problem.
|
could be blown up pipe my car had this got it changed and noise has gone its a comon problem
|
No noise on my WRX 05 PPP either
|
Mine used to sometimes make a noise on spool up - a kind of tinkling. Reminds me of the sound of "pinking" but I wouldnt have said it was loud enough to hear from outside.
Did it on optimax/tesco99/SUL but never noticed it in town - only foot down hard on open road. Havent noticed it lately (or my ears have tuned it out) (Std 05 WRX) |
Try tightening up all the hoses from the airbox through to the intercooler. Had the same sort of noise and it seems to have done the trick. Some of the jubilee clips were a little loose.

My cars done 11k now so maybe something "beds in" in the turbo/exhaust area after a few miles.
Definately has losened (sp?) up a bit too. |
right yeah im up to 9300 miles at the mo and i havent been checking for a while now but i havent heard it for a bit, maybe it was just something bedding in, will try later and listen for it!

I have been running tesco 99 fuel for the last year and it has made this noise all the time.
I`ve just run a tank full of shell v power in my car and the noise has gone. Lee |
