I was told it is normal .........better get it looked at! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things that cause bearing failure are dirty oil and too much boost... I can't see it being the latter! Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds normal to me. The miss at idle is more of a concern to me, as it would have nothing to do with the turbo.macka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always change my oil at 5000km as well. Must really make a fair bit of noise if something goes wrong Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 02/05/05 09:23 AM Share Posted 02/05/05 09:23 AM Mines always loudest when I park in the garage because the sound reflects off the walls and floor, and there are no other noises.....it sounds ............There are no noises at all from it when the engine is running/has oil press to it.

Dont believe that the noise you are hearing can be good All I can hear is the water boiling away as the turbo cools down.It would pay to get her checked out...

Mine's always made a slight noise as well, but sounds like a healthy noise rather than a metal-on-metal spine-tingling kind of grinding noise.Trent.
