OK Hive Mind...Riddle me this whooshing noise please.

Post by BIG F@ TW@ »

So, happily pootling along the other day, put my foot down and heard a loud whooshing noise. Only when engine under load. Tried again, whoosh! No change to exhaust note or smoke.

Doesn't do it when stationary, only when car is in gear and under load etc.

So obviously checked the air hoses, and all look good, no leaks, no loose connections etc. Had the bumper off and engine running to see if I could locate it, and have a better look around, nothing. I thought maybe the intercooler has cracked or something but there's no smoke or loss of power etc.

I believe I put new seals on the intercooler pipes a while ago but I may be wrong.

I've had airbox out incase that has somehow cracked but nowt.

So any clues would be great. I've done a little video that you can cleary hear the noise.
