Whistle

Postby joinerman » Sun Aug 26, 2018 6:29 pm

My 98 turbo with manual pump conversion has started to produce a whistle when the loud pedal is pressed down a bit more than normal gentle driving, up a hill for example, you can actually play with the pedal to produce the whistle, it's had the two flexible hoses each end of the turbo pipe replaced only a couple of months or so ago & this whistle is new, van goes well with no power loss
Any ideas ?

Do you have an aftermarket cone filer?
