It it my first turbo'd car and yes I am aware of related noises but I am getting a strange noise.. its kinda like a jjjjjjssssshhhh.. lol

U can hear it mostly under light acceleration, one of my mates thinks its my heat shield.. but he isn't a mechanic..

Provide a good quality sound clip or you'll never get anywhere diagnosing over the interwebs. A 'jjjssshhhh' sound could be made by just about anything at all. Including a small child stuck under the bonnet.

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.


It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

Check your tyres for goannas.

Dem goannas be makin' some strange sounds.



(But seriously, do what Xon said and upload a sound of what you're trying to diagnose).

Cheers,
