Hey guys!
Last week and a bit I've noticed an added noise above the usual turbo whistle when going up gears. It wasn't an overally huge noise but enough for a bit of an inspection.
After a well earned de-grease and wash I noticed a very small leak in one of the hoses - have replaced both hoses with a silicone type and have clamped both down well enough to have a decent seal (or so I believe anyway).
At the same time I did this, I also did my regular 5K service.
Took the ute for a bit of a spin afterwards and the noise had increased, but only for say 5min and then no noise what-so ever - back to normal. Maybe due to it coming up to proper running temp, or maybe hoses sealing off a bit better? But then went on the highway for a run and 5th gear between 80 & 90km was a lot louder then usual. It was a little windy where I was, but I do believe the noise was turbo related.
Any thoughts or idea's?
