So driving home happily this morning with our new (to us) TDV8 3.6 when I noticed a strange noise whilst driving. Under acceleration, with the drivers window open, I can hear what sounds like an exhaust manifold blowing. On a hill I got “restricted performance” and it slowed down. It sounds like a fluttering sound. Like paper in front of a fan is the best way to describe it.

I took the hoses off today. They were fine. So I have no idea what the fluttering noise is. |

I know the sound you mean, but it’s not that sound. |

So there is no smoke blowing out of the back which is reassuring. It’s certainly not down on power either. I took my mate out in it (he has a TDV8) and he thinks it might have been remapped as he says it accelerates very well.
