Hi Guys,

Hoping someone can help. Came back from a 2 week holiday (car was covered and unused), and I can't help thinking that the supercharger sounds a little muffled, not as a high pitched and loud as it used to.

Going to put it into the dealership, but wondered if anyone can offer any advice?

Have searched the forums high and low but can't find anything on this.

Thanks in advance,

Jay

when you leave your car for a few weeks, you usually build up higher expectations of it for when you return. Perhaps you remember it being louder than it actually was.

I guess if the car feels as fast as before, then the scharger is working. If it were not working correctly you'd certainly notice.

One last check to make - look for small mice in the air filter. I found 54 once.

Cheers,
K.

K,

Seriously, mice?? I guess you're right about expectations... the car still pulls like a freight train... I'll check the filter at the weekend though!

Thanks for this,

Jay

...no the mice were a joke, but sounded good at the time.

Cheers,
