Title: Strange sound when I lift off the throttle
Post by: tayles on 11 September 2006, 14:35

I've had my 1998 Golf GTI 1.8T a few weeks and since owning it I've noticed a slight noise every time I lift off the throttle.  It's not a loud dump valve wheeze like you hear on some cars.  I can only describe it as a slight whickering sound.  I've always assumed that this is normal sound for the turbo to make, but I've got to thinking that maybe it's not.  Is this usual?
