Driving home yesterday I went to overtake a couple of cars,so stamped on the "go" peddle and noticed what could be described as a high pitched screeching noise coming from the car at about 5000 rpm :o. I thought it could be the auxilery belt slipping,so thought I'd better check out under the bonnet. Nope no noise from the engine bay,on further investigation I discovered the noise was turbulant exaust gas exiting a recently replaced backbox ,it sounds like on of those chavvy whistling turbine thingys that you stuff up your tailpipe. The worrying thing though is that I think it sounds quite good. Do I need therepy :-/

Mine whistles at high revs too :y I'm used to it now. If it stopped i'd probably think there was something wrong. (I like it too, so no need for therapy ;))
-
My car makes a funny noise and has a funny smell when I give it some but then again it could be my backside ;D

Now't wrong with that, try putting an induction kit on as I have recently & hear it roar!! Not everyones cup of tea; I know, but I like it ;)

I bet the fuel consumption has taken a dive as you plant the foot to hear it roar :y

I've never noticed any unusual noises from my 3.2, but SWMBO's 2.5 whines for about 30 seconds after it's started and there's some sort of pump that runs for about a minute after it's stopped. I think it sounds great!! :-[ Kind'a like a turbine or something.

is this normal as mine aslso does this :-/

I think it's normal mark as mine does this and my old Nreg elite used to do this sadly my other old 2.0 GLS didn't ;D there again my elite may have just been broke :)

I thnk the noise after switching off the ignition might be something to do with the A/C as the blowers still work for a short while after the key's out of the ignition.

Yeah mine does this slight hissing sound definatly the heaters had it confirmed by someone who works at VX

Lol best compromise is to drill the original airbox. Mines sounds great under acceleration, real deep roar..
K&N 57i Induction kits and the like are a total waste of time on the V6's.
Trip to the RR Day in wrexham with a few V6's in attendance proved (through back to back runs) that by fitting an induction kit you can loose upto 12bhp on a hot engine...So waste of time imho.
Exhaust system sounds utter pants as well as standard.
Best bit about these cars is how they 'take-off' at 4krpm.
And they're only really any good at 60mph+ too..
