I have just purchased a VW golf TDI 1900 on 2007 plate.
It has now developed a very slight whistle noise which is more noticiable when driving careful (low revs). It has also fails to rev above 3000 on occasions although not all the time.
I was adviced from the company that I bought the car off to take it to a nationwide centre, they placed a diagnostic machine on it but where unable to confirm what the fault was. (The young lad didnt seem to have much idea) but he did say it may be a leak from one of the rubber pipes to the turbo.
when driving the car it appears to perform ok other than this slight whistle

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

I would start with checking all the induction pipes are secure and there are no air leaks, if fitted with an inter cooler I would have this checked for cracking as this is sounding like induction whistle from an air leak, start here.
