Hubby's Combo has been making a whining/whistling noise on and off for a few weeks. Not immediately evident when cold, tends to appear after 10-15 minute journey. We couldn't see anything obviously, so took along to local garage last week, they had a listen and test drove, and said possibly turbo related - pipe/seal sucking in air. Van is booked in tomorrow for a better look and any work to be done.

Not used van since last Thursday (hols), but needed to do a short trip this morning. Started up and there was a clattering (metallic - bearing?) type noise at idle, which continued when driven and seemed to increase/decrease with speed/revs. On return, noticed wet patch under the van, and found a lot of water sprayed around engine bay. Cannot see where its coming from - seems like a fine mist and spraying from the aux belt area. Also a lot of water evident, but not much drop in level from the exp tank, and running temp is normal, so assume its a pressurised leak making it look like more.

As car booked in tomorrow anyway, going to let them sort it, but could this be water pump? Could that have also caused the initial whine/whistle noise - or could we still be looking at something turbo related there too? ££££ beginning to flash before us now!
