kayble Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Dear all,I have an odd noise coming from the engine compartment on my 2001 fortwo CDI that has only recently become apparent.It's a quietish roar on over run. For example, if I accelerate to the point where I'd want to change gears in first or second then simply let go of the accelerator pedal and let the car overrun to a stop, I hear an odd roaring noise associated with engine speed.I don't hear the noise under acceleration or under over run in higher gears.I've just replaced the hose between the turbo and intercooler and performance is back to normal. I have a glow plug warning light illumintated on the dash but believe this to be unrelated. Any ideas? Quote
kayble Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Solved: It was a loose clip on the air filter box casing allowing induction noise to eminate from the loose airbox cover. Edited August 20, 2009 by kayble Quote
ARTZ Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Well that is good. This morning when I read this earlier this morning I was going to ask you about your air filter because I was thinking something about the air flow to the engine, but I wouldn't have thought about it not being fully closed. Quote
