Whistling... :(

[silentsnake23]

Well i got in my clio 1.5 DCI today and there is a whistling sound coming from the front right of my car (right to drivers poistion) whenever i accelerate?

I parked it up at home after my journey back from work, had dinner came back out and found that there was a patch of oil on the floor coming from front right of my car :dapprove:

im not sure if the oil leak and whistling sounds are related, but they both seem to be coming from the front right of the car?

Any advice please as to what it is or can be?

If you would like any more information please ask i've only had the car for one week :dead:


(note: its a Mk2, 2004 Reg, 60,000 miles on clock)

Its the wing mirror, if you pull the drivers wing mirror in it will go away

I had this, mine was the plastic shell around the back of the wing mirror was coming away! pushed it back on = no whistling! (i didnt know until someone off here said) Simples

Either way its your wing mirror

haha... im going to try it now as i drive to the garage haha ...

As for the oil leak? anybody got any idea?

unfortunantly it doesnt seem to be the wing mirror, its more of a sucking noise rather than a whistle?

Any other ideas to what it may be i been told its possibly the gear box is low on oil?

Whisling will likely be the induction mate, probably noting to worry about. as for the oil, can see wheres is coming from?

ive only been able to stick my head under and have a look, it isnt clear as to where its coming from? but seems to be just under the engine belt,

If this doesnt help i will jack it up when i get home and have a proper snoop around,

Just an update, ive degreased and presure washed under the bonet and cleaned out all the oil...

i left the car running and found that the oil seems to be coming from the pipe between the turbo and the intercooler

any advice to what this is,

on the weekend i will take the intercooler off and drain the oil
