Hi guys - sorry if its in the wrong section.

I have a VW Golf 1.6TDi 2015 and i've recently been getting a whistling type noise which is heard at all gears at any revs with windows closed.

I have linked a video that I have just taken which I hope helps, so people may be able to suggest and advise if anything serious?

You can hear the 'whistle/whine' when accelerating, it does go a little 'louder' when accelerating at higher revs. I don't notice when in neutral/or standstill. However once the car is at standstill and then engine is off (with start/stop) you can hear another delayed noise too which then cuts off (end of the video).

Appreciate the assistance.

Check hose clamps on intake between turbo and intake manifold.
Check for exhaust leaks.
Turbo diesels are going to whistle, but if it's a new noise / getting louder, check for leaks.

You either have a boost leak or you are getting ready to lunch a turbo, you better determine which it is because a bad turbo can take out the whole engine.
