around the 2500+ rpm range, there is a whistling sound coming for the engine, only when i throttle. When I give it gas, the whistle grows louder, proportional to the engine speed. here is the kick, when i depress the clutch it goes away...do i need a new clutch? I dont know what symptoms to look for...is this whistling sound a symptom?

 

I have the same issue...I've been suspecting a vacuum leak, but been too lazy to take it into the dealer...

Anyone else noticed this or know what's going on?

 

I'm pretty sure your talking about the NORMAL engine whine/whistle/hiss/etc. that everyone complains about and the only reason it goes away when you push in the clutch is because the RPMS drop or rise depending on if your foot is still on the gas pedal.

 

well this is something that just started happening, and this whine gets quite loud. I got hte car an apointment at the dealer this tues, i'll keep y'all posted.

 

do you have a intake ?

my berk whistles and hisses like a s/c

 

nope no intake, had one, but decided to go back tto the stock box.

 

And the sound just started happening?

You never heard that sound with the intake?

 

with the intake, the sound was a more sucking sound...but the sound I'm hearing now is a progressive whirring sound...and when going 100km/hr, it really is loud. I checked my connections around the maf and stock air box, thinking I probably missed something or didnt tightent something, and it looks and feels fine.

 

Ok, now you got me intrigued.

I'm betting that little bish of a rubber collar that goes between the MAF and the "book" is your culprit. Every time I try and put it back together it gets sucked inside.

Maybe that sucker is leaking?

 

ill have to check that out...you're talking about that rubber peice that goes ont the throttle body?

 

life's problems started with a ripped rubber....

 

No. It's between the MAF sensor and the large plastic "book" that has all the vacuum lines attached to it.
