kubus1 Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 On my way back from Bolney today I noticed a strange sound on acceleration. I got really concerned, as I thought that it was a death whine but it is comming from the left side of the engine bay and the turbos are on the right. I took the car over to Toyota and they said they couldnt tell what was wrong. The noise is most apparent on acceleration but I also get it when idle and just reving the engine. My boost guage still shows 1.15 Bar and the car feels as strong as it was. I am really worried. I listened to the Death Whine from the MKIV page and its not like that. I can hear it coming from the vicinity of the EGR sensor and somewhere behind the throttle body. Any ideas? I was going to go to Santa Pod tomorrow. All help very much appreciated. Regards Cuba PS. BTW, it was nice to meet you all at Bolney today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Check the hoses around the EGR system they are prone to splitting, due to the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubus1 Posted April 26, 2003 Author Share Posted April 26, 2003 I looked at my EGR hose, the one coming to the sensor. I squeezed it a couple of times and I heard it crack!! I took it off the car and it looked like it was split before and when I squeezed it it just got bigger. I had some spare hose so I put it on. I made sure it was tight and went for a short test drive. Just drove locally so didnt want to boot it too much but the guage showed 1.07 Bar and no strange sounds at ALL! I guess the real test will be when I take it on the Motorway tomorrow but its seems ok now. I hope its sorted as I was really hating the idea of paying a few £££'s for a new turbo. I ll let you know how I got on. Bobbeh, I m from Poland, but I live near East Grinstead, W. Sussex. I m sure we will catch up next time. Good to see you, any way.
