Spinnig/whining noise when accelerating

Hi everyone,

I have recently bought a TDV6 SE Auto and love it to bits, however, i get a spinning/whining noise when accelerating! Seems to only occur at speeds of around 20-30 mph. Has anyone else had, or know of any similar issues? Its going back to the dealers this week but would like some back up advise before they try and palm me off with excuses?

I don't know if yours in loud or faint, but mine makes a faint whinning noise as the turbo gets going. The variable vanes in the turbo alter the tone of the noise as the throttle is applied or released. Its normal unless its very loud.

I have also got a whirring noise that is directly related to engine speed, most noticable below 2000 rpm. TRY THIS hit the OFF button on the air con and see if the noise disappears!

If so then you have a noisy aircon compressor or drive belt. My car has this and it goes in next week.

Thanks, will try the air con test tomorrow.

The Whining is quite loud and can hear it over the stereo if on low. I think you are right on it being the Turbo. But it certainly sounds too loud to be acceptable,.

Thanks again.

Hi all,

Picked up mine new yesterday and noticed same sounds straight out of dealers drive way. I also sensed a vibration up front in conjunction with this, but this seems to have abated.

Russ, was yours the A/C??

Did the A/C test but made no difference.

However, it seems not to have done it for the last couple of days?? Spoke to the dealer and they said that the turbo makes a similar noise but will get it checked. Mine has to go in for a software upgrade apparantly! what will that change??

Confused

a turbo always makes this kind of noises. Driving the company truck, I thought there was an ambulance nearby, so loud was the wining of the Turbo
