Hey guys,
During the last week or so, I've noticed a noise that I'm 99% sure wasn't there before and was wondering if it's normal or if people know what might be causing it.
Worth mentioning before I start, the car is a 2.2D XF. I normally notice the noise when accelerating in the lower gears or when pulling away from a slow speed/stop, but it can happen in higher gears too, just less often. The only way I can describe the noise is that it sounds very similar to a supercharger when accelerating, it sounds nothing like the whistle of a dying turbo. The second I take my foot off the pedal it stops and then if I accelerate again it won't happen.
The frustrating thing is I can't reproduce it on demand, some times it does it, others it doesn't. And just when I think I've found the exact speed and gear that triggers it, it won't do it the next time.
I've not noticed any changes in performance, the car is absolutely fine. It's just that sound.
Thanks
