Hi all,
I'm currently looking at buying a 20K for the missus, auto unfortunately, so far i have only managed to find one locally to test drive, and it was all in all fairly good, however there was a noise that seemed to be related to the turbo. The noise is hard to describe, i wouldn't equate it to being a 'normal' turbo whine or whistle, it was more like the diff whine you expect in a baggy old dunnydore or similar, but seemed to have more relation to the engine speed and load than to the actual road speed of the car, hence why i'm thinking it could be turbo.. Are there any known weakness to look out for with the turbo's on these? It is possible that what i heard was related to the transmission, again not being familiar with the cars i don't know of any inherent issues myself, but from google research it sounds like they are naturally a noisy transmission in comparison to other manufacturers.
Any input much appreciated.
Cheers.
