Hi there,

 

This is my first post but have been a casual viewer for a while.

 

Whilst driving tonight, my car started making a quiet whistling noise when accelerating. This was complemented by a noise which sounded like an air vent blowing out extra air when accelerating also. On the way back from where I went, this noise stopped but so did a lot of the power in the car. On a downhill I could just about get to 70 but on an uphill I was struggling to hit 50 and having to drop down to 3rd gear to do so. It just felt like all ooomph has gone from the car.

 

My car is a 2009 Skoda Fabia hatchback 1.4 diesel (TDI I think the term is). 

 

Any help/advice would be appreciated!

 

Thanks,

sounds turbo related either the hoses or the associayed pipework 

 

 

does it sound like maracas being shook 

 

we had a pickup at work that made a  sounds like that  turns out the cat was blocked 

I would guess boost leak, a split in a hose, or a hose off ect ?

thanks for your help guys- the official news is that it was a dodgy boost pipe so kudos to you!
