Loud Turbo Whistle

[Cro]

I was telling my workmate about how my turbo was whistling fairly loud (only happens after 2000rpm) the other day, and today when we went for a spin with all the windows closed, radio off, he was in the back seat and he could hear a whistle comming from the rear speaks (maybe the sub as well). It wasn't on all the time, from our testing it came on at 2500rpm and stayed on till I came off boost.

This is with the premium sound package, and he could hear the interference when listening to an original CD as well.

Has anyone else had this?

hey cro

if it is only coming through the sub

a ground loop isolator before the input to the sub amp would fix that problem

used to get the samething in the Old VW

Did you option up the "turbo whistling soundsystem" also????? :lol:

Apon doing some further testing, it isn't comming from the sub.

I swear I saw that on the options list, Must of got it as a freebie Turbo6 :D

I thought it was an option for XR6 NAs only.....

Appears it could be from the radio come control panel ours is being checked at dealer next week.

this has been done before guys. do a search. But I'll tell ya that its the aerial module that cause it. annoying and it shouldn't be there. we found it on most cars but not know how to fix it! new icc perhaps

Have done a search mate, all I could find is something about an alternator interfering with the sub.

Now that you mention it thou I remember you saying that somewhere before.
