Coming back from town today, i pulled out to overtake a camper van, as i accelerated i suddenly got a whine from the offside front. Everytime i accelerated the whine was there. After 2 to 3 min it stopped. Anyone else had this ?

Do you think it was coming from he wheel or engine. The turbo can make a fairly loud whine when it kicks in. But not in a bad way.

Think it was the turbo, Also got a noise like escaping air when i accelerate, off to the dealer in the morning

Im sure they will say thats normal and to be honest it probably is unless its excessively loud but they do like most TDis make a fair bit of noise under acceleration.

Trip to the dealer this morning. Turns out a pipe had come off the turbo unit. Fixed in ten mins.
Then after i came out the dealers what do i get ? yellow DPF. 20 miles down the bypass and its clear.
Still only getting 22MPG.

I am glad that was a simple fix.

I just posted my m.p.g. figures and I am getting 29.7 m.p.g. measured over a year. I am sure that yours will improve in time.
