99 1.6 Strange noise at low revs - liefy
Hi,

I have noticed recently a strange noise when i put my foot to the floor at low revs, which I can only describe like a blowing exhaust but it does only do it at low revs and not all the time.
To try and give an example, if I am going up a slight hill at 30mph in 3rd and then my speed slows a little and the revs drop and i then put my foot to the floor to pick it up again, a loud noise (like a blowing exhaust) is made until I reach enough speed and about 2500 revs/min when the noise disappears again. With my foot to the floor above approx 2500 revs it sounds okay.

Any ideas please?

Thanks as always.

Hi There.

Did you ever solve this? My 2002 Sxi is doing this very thing. Car running super but this noise is really irritating - nearly scared an old woman to death on the way to work this morning!!

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Simon.
