Thats what im getting, not a whistling sound though. A very feint, but sudden whooshing sound when the engine hits around 4500-5000rpm. Its the sound you hear when you suddenly blip the throttle at idle, and you get this short WHOOSH!!! sound. Im just thinking that if it was a leak, i would probably hear it throughout the whole rev range.
I cant hear it from the cabin with the windows shut, but when the window is down and the bonnet popped up i can hear it when i rev.
I double checked everything this morning to make sure the ends are sitting as far as they're meant to be (ie, at the stops), and the o-clamps are as tights as they'll go.
My only guess is that it made the sound before, but i just didnt hear it or pay attention to it. I prolly noticed it coz i knew that the guys fiddled around with it.... paranoia sets in.... LOL
