Hey!
Just discovered a new noise that I am not particularly fan of. Started the car today, temperature was 4C, drove gentle as usual but I noticed that at around 1500 RPM (out of boost so) if I gave say more than ~40% throttle there is some kind of howling/whining sound coming from the passenger side.
The noise is not really high pitched, it's smooth and follows exactly the amount of throttle (but disappears if throttle is not at least 40-50%). I don't know if a turbo make this sort of noise before giving up? The sound disappeared after 2 miles.
I run 5W-30 oil so it should flow OK at this temperature.
Anybody experienced something similar? What would you do in this situation?
