Default New noise any ideas?

Hey guys this noise has just started with my car when I hit the trottle it sounds like it has a turbo in it with the sound it makes. Also when I turn the car off somthing squeeks for like a minute and then stops.

Not sure about the turbo sound, but the squeek after you shut the motor off might be the cooling fans. My WS6 used to do that, for about 20 seconds or so after shutdown you could hear this tiny high pitched squeek. Once the fan came to a complete stop, the squeek was gone. I'd start by watching the fans next time you hear the noise, see if it stops when the blades fully stop.

Not sure if there's anything that can be done, short of replacing the fan. I don't know if it can be disassembled and lubed or not. I never tried. I just left it alone, the noise wasn't loud enough to bother me. Fan still worked fine though.

I wish mine sounded like it had a turbo.


Actually - screw the sound. I wish it did have a turbo.
