Hello,

I have a 2006 VW New GTI 2.0 w/turbo and 84,000K. A few months ago the vehicle started making a very loud and constant high pitch siren sound. As soon as the car is started the sound begins and remains no matter which position the transmission is in. Once you step on the accelerator and turbo boost kicks in the sound disappears. Immediately after letting off the accelerator the noise returns. I was told the noise was coming from the front of the transmission and ok'd a tranny flush and fluid replacement. No luck.I was also told it was the timing belt and another mechanic said belts, pulley and or tensioner. Please help me!!! I am at wits end. I think its the turbo system?????

Are you sure its not the secondary air pump running? When this pump comes on and runs it sounds like a hoover vaccum. Also if you think it is the turbo system have you made sure you didnt pop a boost hose off?
