so i start my 500 mile drive to work today 2am
im listening to podcasts, then theres a quiet moment 2hrs in, i hear 'whistling'
driving along, goin into N doesnt change it, windows, sunroof, up and down, no change
sound goes away when boost is low or gone....aaargh.
pull over, see if theres something visibly wrong...bit of oil leak near turbo, all connections good....
so i turn around, head back home, theres no GM for another 4hrs in the direction i was goin, work is 2hrs past that, its sunday...everything is closed....ill have the car taken in to my dealer near home.
then it dawns on me.....and im pi$$ed....
i got a magmount antenna for my VHF radio....this is first drive with it.....it cant be that simple.....
pull over, take antenna down
whistling sound gone....turbo, and rest of car is fine
oooooooof
dunno if the antenna itself was making wind noise, or the way i had the cord in the weatherstripping of the door....was test run to see how much better it was before going permanent install
