TonyP Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 My engine has started whistling. I've been told it's a small air leak. It sounds like it's coming from the area shown in the first picture. I've included the other pics to show the location of the part. Can anyone tell me what that part is and if it is where the air could be leaking from and how to fix it. Thank you.

supraspeed Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 check all piping/hoses with engine tickover and get someone to blip the throttle. the smallist hole can make a hell of an annoying noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have an NA and it does the same thing, it only happens when it changes gears around 3,000rpm. I was thinking it was the auto tranny..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned out to be the alternator was on the way out. Hope you guys have similar joy in removing the annoying noise. I can now listen to my RS*R exhaust howl in peace now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
