Hi,

Yes, i have a whistling noise as soon as I let off the gas from 2K- 3k RPM. It's easier to notice under 40 MPH mainly because its kinda hard to get to 2-3K rpm on city streets when traveling fast (basically too much traffic).


The only leads are vacuum leak/ intake boot leak, or the bearing issue you describe where the seals are bad. The problem is that I don't think CPO will cover any of this.... and I have 49,970 miles .

Car is at the stealership now.
