Turbo flutter
« on: 14 July 2013, 17:46 »
Had my car at vw on Tuesday..since then the when I lift off the throttle it flutters?? Should it do that??

At first I thought it was cos the vac pipe from the DV keeps poping off but even when I reattach it, it does the same!! I like the sound (much nicer than the chavy ppsssst sound) but I don't want to damage anything for the sale of a noise

Any ideas??

DV stickng, vac leak causing it not to open etc. Will ruin turbo over time as they are not designed to chatter. The chatter is compressed air that would otherwise be released back into intake being chopped up by the turbo.
