Turbo whine
Apologies if this has been answered before but I'm a newcomer and would appreciate members thoughts.
I bought a 1999 V70 tdi 3 months ago,96,000 mile,full service history, belts and pulleys done last year etc and other than a very noise turbo I love the car.
I've had diesels before so I know that there is some turbo whine but this seems excessive and having read about the great "pull" that these cars should have I'm wondering if there's something wrong with mine because I find it quite sluggish.
The noise is only under load and from 2000 rpm upwards. There are no clouds of black smoke and the noise gets worse as the car warms up. I've heard mention that there could be an air leak from one of the hoses, but as the only hose kit I've seen advertised is £140 I would like second,third and fourth opinions before I start spending.
Any help would be appreciated.
John
