Yep, it could be normal or it could be something wrong. High flow air filters tend to make a bit of a hissing/sucking noise when you crack the throttle open. Otherwise check for loose vacuum hoses or try to pinpoint the source by ear.

Don't laugh while you are doing this, but grab a length of garden hose, maybe 1m long.
Stick one end to your ear & then point the other end near where the noise is coming from using it like a stethascope.
It's quite interesting what noises, good & bad, that you can isolate & pin point this way.
Oh, & another thing, sort any issues you may or may not have with the car before posting in the For Sale section on the same forum at the same time. |
