senatorsignature New Member 6 Member For: 12y 7m 5d Posted 28/01/16 09:10 AM Share Posted 28/01/16 09:10 AM (edited) I just purchased a couple of weeks ago after being a V8 Expensive Daewoo person for the past 10 years, a 2014 FG MK 11 Falcon XR6 Turbo sedan with 20,000 Klms, I had it in today for a couple of warranty issues, I had very poor radio reception with no AM radio. Which they are ordering a new aerial which Ford believes is the problem not really fussed about that but my second issue Ford couldn't find or hear the problem (Surprise Surprise) that concerned me a little, as I have driven other XR6 turbo's and never heard the below sound. First thing in the morning when the car is cold I drive down the road and hear this faint siren like sound which increase in pitch as the revs increase, best way I can describe the sound is like a police siren far in the distance or when a fire station sounds it's alarm and the pitch goes higher as it gets louder. This happens even between 1500-2500 revs so not even on boost, hopefully people can understand what I am describing. Once the car warms up the sound goes away. Has anyone experienced this, as I am new to the Turbo world and I thought maybe someone else has experienced this at some stage and give me an idea what it could possibly be.

I get a whine between 55-59km/h. it does not matter if it is first thing in the morning or half way through the day. I still get it. Are you in Perth?

No it is not the diff, as the sound seems to come more from engine bay area. No I am in Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 7m 23d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 28/01/16 11:43 AM Share Posted 28/01/16 11:43 AM (edited) turbo spool..at off boost cold conditions. My standard turbo use to do the exact same thing Nothing at all to worry about. My advice -- enjoy the sound each morning Edit: Oh and BTW Welcome to the Forum Edited 28/01/16 11:45 AM by BenDoCo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo whine's when car is cold. I just avoid spooling up the turbo when the engine is cold. once the car is up to operating temperature, the whine seems to go away.
