Here is my little problem. My 2000 1.8T is stock (North American model, 150hp), no mods at all. When I was driving home earlier, I notice a strange noise, its not the standard whining noise from the turbo, but instead, it sounded more like exhaust noise.. when I release the gas, I heard a light hissing noise, something similar to BOV noise... is it coming from my stock DV? Should I be worry about it?
Strange Noise - Sounds like BOV
- Thread starter godwine
- Start date
I'm only guessing(hearing an eclipse GST) but when you rev up the engine and let go of the throttle, it makes like a "woooo-cheee" noise, besides that i don't know
there will be a slight noise as the air is being channeled back under pressure into the air box, which on some models can be heard more than normal. The turbo can also whistle a little bit, which it might be.
I'd listen to it with the hood up and a friend revving the engine. It may very well be a bad DV or a leaking hose.
I never heard this when I first got the car 4 years ago (as new).. so I am sure soemthing either worn out or is broken.. thanks, I will get someone to rev it up with me listening inside the hood.. if its a bad DV, how much would it cost to get it replaced ?

DV's:
Bailey = Probably the most popular, serviceable, $$$
Forge = Large (some reported fitment issues), serviceable, $$
Forge Race = Larger than others, adjustable, serviceable, $$$
Hyperboost = Cosmetic package, not serviceable, $$
Hyperboost Adjustable = New, cosmetic package, may not fit S4, adjustable preload, not serviceable, $$$
Hyperboost HX = Newest, very cosmetic package, new internals, not serviceable, $$$
OE Bosch 710N = Basic upgrade, popular with budget-minded modders, not serviceable, $
OE Bosch Sport 110 = MTM upgrade, same as 710N with "better" internals, $$
$ = under $50 USD
$$ = $50 - $150 USD
$$$ = Over $150 USD

Its a real strange noise, and I seems to be burning gas more than usual.. made an appointment to have it looked at next week /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
So, ontop of this problem, all my locks failed too... the damn connection to the lock pump was gone.. they got me a new pump.. so anyways,apparently this problem was due to a bad BOV.. wow.. I didn't know that the stock A4 comes with BOV.. news to me, but the dealer's advisor ensure that it is a BOV i have, not a DV... can someone PLEASE tell me if its a BOV or DV in the stock 1.8T? Maybe I should start studying the Audi A4 again from beginning?
