New owner of a mk1 Fabia, just a couple of things that have tested their head!

First of all, a rattling from (what sounds like) the rear when going over rough roads. Also only seems to do it when the rear wheels hit a dip etc. Anyone have an idea what that could be?

Secondly, there is a whooshy/wind noise when going into boost. It's not the normal whistle (can hear that faintly), any ideas?

Much appreciated!

Does it have an aftermarket air filter?  Could explain the louder than normal tubro noise.

 

Have you had the rear wheels off to have a poke around?  Have had a similar noise on a merc with one of the springs going but having never driven a VRS there could be some common faults I don't know about.

Nope, it has a standard air filter. Fairly sure it wasn't doing it when I got it. Although you can see the side of the air filter, as if the lid isn't on properly? I presumed that was normal?

And haven't had the wheels off just yet, simply haven't had a chance! Just wondered if there was anything common that people have had before
