whistling turbo V40 DS 2002

[kee1173]

what is a whistling turbo ( thought all turbos whistled) looking at a V40 DS and ad says has whistling turbo poss bearing but drives perfect, no smoke, plenty of power and good fuel consumption... is there a prob? also is it costly to repair if is...and is it a bearing or new turbo? Any ideas?

Hmmm... was it expensive to fix .. just waying up cost of car and repair... sounds like it has been whistling for a while but still runs perfect...

dont think the turbos are that dear.never fixed mine as id had enough of it.make sure it doest rattle when its ticking over tho as new flywheels are pricey..
