Title: hissing noise....
Post by: GTI16vGaz on 26 November 2003, 10:35

When driving the car steady it seems to have a hissing noise when changing through the gears, especailly between 3 and 4000 revs.. sound a bit like a turbo.... is this normal? the car is Standard....

Cheers peeps...

nope mine makes no hissing noise

also, u can pull the resonater tube out of the base of the air box, it'll make ur car sound a lot meatier
