Help Identifying strange noise (video attached)

Featured Replies

Hey all!

Can anyone shed some light on this high pitched squeak I'm getting in the video? (Just as I change from 1st to 2nd then in second again) It seems

Very faint in video but is louder in real life. Most noticeable in 1st and 2nd gear (I don't think it does it in higher gears as I can't hear a anything but could just be road noise blocking it) I know the video is not great as the phone is picking up a lot of other noises. When under the bonnet the noise leads me right to the top of the egr valve but I can't spot anything out of place and I have had a good look round almost everything.

If the car is idled and revved for 2-3 mins the noise virtually disappears but will return again once sitting for a minute. I've even had days where is seems to have cured itself then a couple of mile down road the it appears again. Sounds like air squeezing out somewhere to me? Any help much appreciated!

Thanks

Jordan

Vacuum leak.

Where from?

Too much wind noise in that video!

If it's looking like the inlet area try a new seal on your top boost hose where it goes into EGR.

That's assuming you have standard boost pipes?

If not stick a picture up of your top boost hose set up.

I've had boost leaks before but this sounds too high pitched as opposed to what I've had in the past, plus the fact that it's only there for a small portion of the revs, approx 1800-2300 then it goes away again?!? Really frustrating me! Haha
