I know this has probably been discussed but I can't find the thread. Has anyone heard a growling noise when running around 1900 to 2100 rpms. I have the 1.4 turbo. Obviously the dealer can't find anything wrong with it has anyone had any luck with this issue?
Mine makes a noise between that RPM range to but I wouldn't call it a growl. Sounds more like forced air rushing through a hollow can.... It may be the turbo I hear but not sure. I had a 2011 with the same engine and it didn't make that sound.
the best way to describe the sound is when you get a rug caught in your vacuum cleaner. Not a pleasant noise. It gets really old when you go on a longer trip at 55mph. I wouldn't have a clue how to post a sound clip of it.
nrq484,
I would recommend that you have your dealer look into this for you. I would also like you to keep me posted on the progress of your concern. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime.
Thank you,

I took the advice in ZPE's link he sent and it is the fuel lines. I took some rags and wrapped them behind the fuel lines and the noise stopped. i told my service dept. what I found and that they need to check into this but they don't seem to thrilled about it. I have an appointment tomorrow so we'll see what they actually do about it.
