Hi all
New to the forum, just bought a l200 o4 plate. I have a whistle from the turbo area when using the throttle can almost play a tune when driving, do these suffer with problems ?.

Morning mate, first thing To check on, is any air leaks on the turbo pipes.... Just out of curiosity, is this whistle more like a vibration whistle, rather than a purse ya lips type whistle .... If it is them most likely a manifold gasket blown..

Or else theres nothing wrong and its just turbo whistle.

Mine whistles more since putting a K&N filter in it, putting a snorkel on and doing the de-cat on the exhaust. Before that I could barely hear it

Dito Kurt.

Handy is ur truck standard

it's standard in that I haven't d1cked with the engine in any way ...... ish
I have removed the egr and cooler, fitted a second scoop,fitted a snorkel, fitted a K&N element filter in the original airbox then bespoked it onto the snorkel. Not touched anything else on the engine.

Well coming from disco land, I thought I had turbo whistle, but it turned to be exhaust manifold gasket.

Hi thanks for the replys, as far as I know it's standard apart from blanking the egr. It's the type that you blow through your lips.
Checked over pipes look ok, but I think the waste gate arm has too much play up n down.

Mine also whistles. Much more after my cat got nicked and I fitted a straight thru pipe.

Hi Andy, did you get to the root of this whistle?

I have a 53 plate Warrior and when I take my foot off the throttle it whistles, the higher the revs the bigger the whistle. I'm thinking the PO has had some sort of boy racer thingy fitted... This is my first L200, so I don't know if this is normal or not.
Can anyone advise me on what to check to track down what's causing this please?

Mine has had a whistle all the time I have owned it my turbo is perfect, some people will tell you they will whistle some people will tell you they should not whistle, some people will start flapping and go into panic mode and say fucks sake my turbo whistles its fucked blah bloody blah so up to you what you think but all I know is nearly all the l200 I ever heard give a cheeky little whistle

Cheers Tony, that puts my mind at rest mate.

Oh it's loud alright, especially if I have the window open. If I give it the old lead boot, when I take my foot of the peddel it's a sort of whoosh that finishes with a whistle. Sort of sounds cool, but wondered if something is a miss.

I've owned a number of turbo vehicals, All have hte sweet sweet turbo whistle noise. the VW TDI motors make the loudest whistle...almost like the whistle from a old Military Duex and a Half truck from WW2

Bart, the only thing in the back is my Springer, when he hears the whistle he's tearing it up in there looking for the game to pick up...

HA HA i know what you mean marty i have 3 of them but they have that selective gun dog hearing syndrome where they only hear the whistle when it suits them.

LOL, your right there Bart. Mine is 4 in the summer, he's worth his weight in gold when I get out in the field.
