It only started after 3000klm, before that nothing.. I had it back to the dealer numerous times. They told me it is normal !!!!!even saying they have other demos that do it too.. I dont like it, but dont know what else to do.I took my car to a turbo specialist & took hom for a drive.. He said, yes normal, but for a car with a lot more k's on the clockThe noise mine makes is like a siren, it does get a bit quieter after the car is hot..

I don't understand why dealers turn away warranty work, sure less money but better PR is the best investment into the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT VERY LOUD WHEN YOU HAVE THE WINDOWS UP IT HURTS YOUR EARS.. Induction noise and whine is most definitely normal, but if you're not exaggerating then there has to be a bigger issue. Although if it's confirmed as normal by a couple of different parties then I think the only solution is for you to not buy turbo-charged vehicles!
