Hi Guys,

I just noticed tonight there is a slight hissign noise near dash?

I know normally this could mean head gasket etc...(but temp is fine etc..?)

Then when i put my foot on the gas, then a slight hissing noise(from drivers side) when boosting, then normal d/v noise comes in?

ANy ideas please, its a 1995 wrx jdm

Thanks

Jon

 

turbo intake hose split maybe, you got standard air filter or after market?

 

Chances are you have popped the gasket out from under the topmount...You wouldn't be the first...

 

just got a gasket for intercooler mine was hissing whenever i accelorated

 

Thanks, I have a k&n induction kit(i knoww i know) it was on the car when I bought.

How much are these gaskets and have you a pic where it is too under bonnet, still learnign about scooby engine!!! BIG jump from saxo vts to wrx

Thanks for the help

Jon

 

You said it was near the dash?????

I know this is a crazy one but I had a strange noise comming from my dash on my 95WRX and it took me bloody ages to find it.....

It was the cup holder!!

Honest!!

It was rattling, I pulled it out about 1/2 cm and it went away!!!



Just hope it is that and not something really expensive!

 

Ok will have a look thanks, I hope so too!!!!

 

Another thing is that your K&N can somtimes rattle againt your bonnet lid!! I tried that one before I found the cup holder problem.....

 

dump valve vent to atmosphere? possibly spring too weak?

 

Still love the cup holder problem!!! I was in bits when I found it! All the technology in the world and I was undone by a cup holder!!!

 

the gasket is where you bolt intercooler on unfotunatly you'll have to take int off to see if there's any splits etc to take it off there are 3 bolts under the intercooler not the eassiest to get to someone on here was selling the gaskets for £15.00 i got a mint s/hand one for a fiver

 

Hissing when you put your foot down is most likely an air leak somewhere on the inlet side.

 

If you have a boost gauge fitted, check the pipe-work to that.

It may be split or loose.

 

my 2000 turbo was hissing today. took intercooler off and made sure all pipes etc were on tight. sorted now. hope you fix it.... i had exactly the same problem as you
