Not my problem at all

Well i wasnt going to name the dealership and i still wont but i have a feeling everyone here knows which one you work for.As for the stealership thing everyone refers to dealerships as stealerships im sorry that offends you and i take it back. Heres the thing with the brake line if you guys had noticed my rear SS lines have no clear coating. Why you may ask because they come that way. I agree with you the clear plastic coating is an added benefit but with it slightly worn it would NEVER have failed...It had not even rubbed down to the braid thats why the braid was never damaged so technicallly the plastic is still there. As for the wheel spacers i can understand the valid point of the non warranty but the wheel spacers had been on there for literally a day and the noise was even reported to your delaership 2 weeks prior. So whether it was bad timing or what it didnt matter because it was never road tested. I do feel you may be right on the leaky exhaust...So im gonna have to see if i can figure out which one is leaking.

Still working on getting the sound clip but i really dont think its a busted turbo. But it may be possible that its a leaky one. I put an Avo actuator on awhile back but the problem didnt surface til recnetly. The car still runs too strong for me to think its a urbo. Bump for any other ideas!

yeah even that is hard to tell..... the best description of the whine i can give would be sounds almost as if under high load hence the high rpms and excessive gas that the belt are squeekin....u get that same ear piercing screech kinda thing....I will see what i can do about a sound clip....o by the way it doesnt always do it.....just about 95% of the time....that may because of how much gas u need to give it though

hmmmm.....i dono its possible because i have a AVO actuator.....anyway of telling?

I am getting a whining noise that is extremely loud around 4k RPMs and was wondering if anyone was experiencing the same problem? I have reported problems of a similar noise but at a fraction of the db and it was noticable at low speeds. That turned out to be some wheel bearings. I dont think this is the case now only for the fact it only happens around 4k and under a heavy load (acceleration). I had the dealer look at it and they couldnt hear the noise....i'm liek what? Its loud as hell lol. So i wanted to have em look at it again when i got my next oil change. Well in between them looking at it and my next sceduled oil change i decided to do a bbk with SS lines. Cause of my **** up (apparently) i had to put wheel spacers on the car. Brought it back to the dealer (before that oil change) to have them bleed the brakes once more to check my work and to look at the noise again. Well they put it on a lift and said the noise was coming from the SS lines rubbing on the tire and they wont bleed the brakes because the car isnt safe. Well now im upset, the noise was there before and the line that was rubbing only rubbed thru the clear decorative cover on the SS line so it is safe as can be. On top of that they wouldnt pull the ss line away from the rim because they didnt want to be responsible. UGH! Anyways i fixed the brake line a noise still there. But of course screwed again dealer said if it is the wheel bearing they wont replace it because i have wheel spacers on the tires AHH!!! They wouldnt even test drive the car after i pulled the ss lien away from the wheel because they said the car isnt safe...ahahahhaa. I can't win. So to sum this up eventually im getting new rims and fixin the brake line so i can have the stealership look at the noise again but was wondering if anyone else experienced the noise and what it might be. Thanks guys.

I should be good to go depending on where it is...thanks!...just about to go from stage 0 too 2 starting to order parts now
