Hi, I’ve been noticing for about a week now that when I accelerate from about 2k revs in third gear from about 20mph up to about 3k revs and let off the throttle, I hear a whine noise or like a creak noise, its hard to explain.

gregozedobe

Related to diverter valve maybe ? Bleeding off excess boost when backing off the throttle. 3K rpm is when torque is approaching maximum, so boost would be quite high. Any error codes recorded ?

Gazza84

No error codes or anything sinister. Just a very faint creek or pressure release noise that lasts about 1 second. It doesn’t do it when I have high revs in 3rd gear for example and accelerate and ease off the throttle.

Incase anyone is wondering, I am in N’ring mode and using manual shift. Cheers

Thanks @Booth11 you’ll have to listen pretty hard as it is a tiny creek, woosh 🤣🤣 I’ve been watching videos about dump/divert valves on youtube and it sounds like it is this, but it would be nice to know someone else is hearing it aswell in their 8r.
