Whistle noise above 2000RPM

Post by Nivaze95 »

My Polo 1.0 TSI is making a constant whistle noise above 2000RPM. It’s a constant whistle noise that’s there both at constant speed as when revving the car in neutral as long as revs are above 2000 RPM.

Anyone else has this noise or knows what it is?

Here you can hear the noise when I rev the car:

Sounds like a pretty normal turbo whistle.

I’m no mechanic but sounds like most turbos I’ve had as dreamscape said.
