    Hi there,

    I have a '04 Skoda Superb and its been running very well for me for the last 18 months or so.
    got it serviced there recently and it was going well.

    Today, I started hearing a funny noise, a whistling noise, a bit like a dump valve some boy racers install only I dont have a dump valve.

    Is it something to do with the turbo?

    any help would be appreciated

    Yeah you should anything like a whistling sound is usually induction/turbo issue. It might only be a small problem but better safe than sorry.

    Hey weekaizer, I'd say your just hearing the turbo spooling down between gears, nothing to worry about! :D
