strange air leak sound when accelerating

[Silence]

Hi guys.

Whilst driving my FR Tdi over the last couple of weeks i've noticed a strange sound when accelerating in 2nd and 3rd gear. The only way I can describe it is an air-leak kind of noise which lasts for half a second and then goes away. It sounds similar to the weird suction-type noise when lifting off the accelerator at low rev ranges which has developed recently.

Sorry I couldn't explain this better, but was wondering whether anyone could help??

Have you done any modifications to the car and are you suffering any obvious power loss?

Car is completely standard and am experiencing no power loss - just the noise

chances are its just the whistle of the turbo, think the diesel turbos are more likely to fail eventually than the petrol ones from my experience working at skoda

i'm sure they used to swap about 2 a week
