They have gotten very loud under hard acceleration. I used to just hear a "gush" between gear changes... it grew to a whistle under hard acceleration, now it just screams. it sounds cool as hell, but... um... it didnt do this before.

If nobody has seen or heard this, i will try to take a video tomorrow in my parking garage after everyone leaves for work.

 

lol uhhhhhhhh id record that and bring it to the dealer asap

or maybe they put in a bov for you?? lol

 

it sounds like a woman is getting stabbed under my hood.

 

oh well thats normal

 

Geez, the problems just keep coming......Sorry to hear it.

 

That sucks Craig, but don't you dare switching to Audi after your lease is up

 

Half a year ago I could also hear the turbo in my car more and more loudly (wouldn't call it a woman being killed, more like a vacuumcleaner sound). I went to the dealer and it was only a turbo hose that somehow came off. They put it back on, locked it and everything was fine again. Not a big deal, probably you can do it yourself.

Don't wait too long though, because if too much false air is being sucked in, your fuel/air ratio will be incorrect which is not good for engine + exhaust system.

P.S. It's the only issue I ever had with my E60 in almost 3 years now.
