Whisteling sound
Hallo all
i have a 1996 3.5l lwb when driving about half throttle i can hear a whisteling sound coming from under the car at about 2-3000 rpm sounds like air excaping from a very small hole.
took the car to the local exhaust place and they said my exhuast if fine.
plzzzz help

Re: Whisteling sound
I'm no mechanic, but if its under the car, and audible only during a specific rev range, then it is most probably the exhaust. Could be the wheel bearings, but that sounds more like a low pitched hum, rather than a high pitched whistle....Did the exhaust shop merely check for leaks / holes, or did they properly examine all the silencers / resonators attached to the exhaust. Reason I ask is that a few years back, my Jetta VR6 suffered something of a similar malady. Turned out that the baffles inside the third silencer (it was a 4 box system) had come lose and was rattling around, although the outside of the silancer itself was perfect :shock: . If you are still stumped, its worth a look.....

If its a diesel, it could be the turbo whistling ;)
