I've got a whine from my turbo - kind of sounds like a siren - that has recently started. I've done about 70'000 miles and there's nothing in the log book to suggest there have been issues before.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is it worth hanging on, on the off chance that the turbo still has some life left in it?

Are you sure it's the turbo, have you had someone else sit in the car and Rev it so you can have a proper listen?

Well, it may be something else. I'm not totally convinced.

But yeah, I had my Dad have a look too and it only seems to whine when I'm accelerating. It's a weird one.

I hope to god its not my gearbox haha. I think I've got a split hose too, that seems to make more of a whistle instead of a whine. Might be worth just biting the bullet and taking it to a garage so they can have a listen..

All sorted now - replaced the turbo, bought an EGR delete valve and remapped up to 190bhp. Not bad considering this time a year ago I was driving a 60bhp Fiesta!
