Haris 0 Posted October 1, 2010 This is starting to drive me crazy I've replaced all pipes now, but I still get a whining noise.. I've narrowed it down to it being this bit here under accelerator cable, as whenever I touch it I can stop the whining. But I can't see how it would effect it as it's just a spring isn't it? I'm confused, should I go ahead and get a replacement part? Please Help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombre_paulo 0 Posted October 1, 2010 Its a damper to stop the throttle snapping shut when you lift of. They do get tired and become less effective and i dont think replacements are too expensive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hombre_paulo 0 Posted October 1, 2010 Nope. only thing it could do if it was set to high would be to cause the throttle to sit open at idle. Are you sure its not the ISV whining, it is right next to that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zak 0 Posted October 1, 2010 The hissing noise is probably the isv damper mentioned above. Its noisy and sounds like a vacuum leak but thas just how it is. I dont think there will be a leak. Have you got a problem that you're trying to resolve? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haris 0 Posted October 1, 2010 Fairly sure it isn't the ISV, but will have a look again. Trying to fix the whining the noise as it's pretty loud. Fairly sure it's a vacuum leak as the idle isn't spot on either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haris 0 Posted October 8, 2010 Right here's a video, still haven't had a chance to vag com it. That pipe coming out of the ISV that I push down I have already replaced and it still does it. http://s864.photobucket.com/albums/ab20 ... nt=011.mp4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted October 8, 2010 I have no clue what that is but it must piss you off!! Im going to sound like a tool now but where is the isv? I know what it does but dont know what it looks like so cant clean it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zak 0 Posted October 8, 2010 definately doesn't sound normal but not sure what the issue is. you must be able to marrow it down as its pretty loud Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
