Noise in second gear

Hi all

Bravo dynamic 57 plate 5000 miles 150 BHP Mulitijet JTD
Has anyone experienced a whining (spinning) type noise very noticeable in second gear when accelerating hard?
When I hear it I can’t make up my mind whether its transmition noise or just boost and engine noise any idea’s guys

Regards Kelvin W

Former Stilo 115bhp JTD owner

Re: Noise in second gear

As you say it happens when accelerating hard, it sounds to me like it's the turbo... (although turbo's do tend to make more of a high pitched whistling noise to my ear!)

Has this noise just come on or are you listening out for it now you've detected it?

Re: Noise in second gear

Accelerating hard a make higher pressure inside the combustion chamber, the louder the noise, so the Unijet system combines very high injection pressures.

The uniJet Turbo Diesel is a quieter engine for a diesel up to 8 dBA quieter dependent on engine speed.
