Mine whistle's till about 2500-2800 also dumps like a good un has done for 110k

The whistle goes through the rev range on mine.. starts before the turbo kicks in..

Without hearing it we can only speculate......... :sad:

The fact that code you posted was found has meant the car has gone into limp mode at some stage.

Try loading the car up in 5th or 6th gear at around 60mph.  Thats usually when it will hit limp mode......

I meant get the car doing around 50-60mph and under 2000rpm in 6th and then plant your foot.  Thats when the turbo will work hard and usually when you hit limp mode

You see what i mean about speculating??

Clear the codes and see if they come back over the next week or so.  Then go from there  :smiley:  they code be old codes which have never been cleared

Will try that tomorrow mate, thanks. I know its all speculation, I just wanted to go sleep on a easy head thats all, at the moment im just saying ££ signs, Im hoping its just a pipe, as its been pretty well maintained, nothing to relate to a turbo, but at the same time theres been no invoices given, just a service book.
