I’m just wondering….
Does anyone else get a fair bit of turbo whistle when putting your foot down in the 1.2 petrol? Doesn’t appear to whistle at the same revs with little throttle.
Engine is much quieter than previous cars, it’s also my first turbo petrol, previous diesels didn’t whistle as loudly as this. So it could just be me overreacting!
Curious to see if anyone else has the same experience and if I should worry about it or not?
Thanks,
A
Turbo Whistle
Hi groovyblues,
I have the 1.2 also, I do find when I put my foot down I get a bit of turbo whistle but not excessive and obviously when I take my foot off it disappears, maybe check the inlets for leaks or if they need tightening, other than that I think a trip to your local vauxhall garage is needed.
Hope this helps,
Stay safe.

Hi Groovyblues
My car does the same as Russell B one so as he advises it might be worth getting your car booked in if your concerned its excessive.

Thanks both for your input.
The trouble is, I’m really not sure if it’s excessive or not. I’ll try and do a bit more digging, it looks like the turbo is fairly easy to get to, but I’ll have a proper look later after work.
