| Briskodian | Whistle? Since I dont see many vrs's about can someone tell me if its normal to have alot of turbo whistle at idle and low revs - like pretty loud. Im getting suspicous about it and its lack of ooomph (might be paranoid) |

| Re: Whistle? 'Lack of ooomph' their maybe something wrong there. I don't get turbo whistle at idle, but after i've been driving, and stop for over 2 minutes, you can hear the turbo cooling down which is all natural. Low rev's again is all natural. Where are you from? |

| Re: Whistle? Mine does have slight turbo noise at tickover and low rev maneuvers. It turns into a full grown Howl when I nail it - I can frighten old people with it! It goes ok though. |

| Re: Whistle? My Fabia vRS also has a loud tickover whistle but having been in my mates vRS this seems to be normal. It seems to go well and pull strongly. I would only start to worry if it starts to wheeze as tho there is air escaping.
