Hi All,

Purchased RR Sport 2011 plate 3.0V6 from my local used car garage nearly 3 months ago.....Have taken it back twice, 1st they cleared all codes after 4 weeks came back, took it back 2nd time and they done a smoke test and said there was an O ring problem and replaced. That was about 3 weeks ago and yesterday it has come back. Im awaiting there response.

Being new to RR have noticed a couple of things which i have mentioned to the garage, but not sure if they ar normal behaviour
1. Slow at pulling away, almost feels like its in 2nd gear
2. when i accelerate hard with the window down its not quite a whistling noise but a kind of wooshing noise.

Not sure if these are normal or if they are linked to the error code.

Thanks for reading

You need DM or another one of the regular mechanics to comment but as a guess I would recommend checking the turbo pipes for splits or loose connections. You can also check the turbo actuator is also moving but it does sound Turbo related. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

I’ve just done a forum search for that fault code and lots of info pointing towards Turbo inlet low pressure and other faults. Have a look and see if anything sounds similar to your symptoms. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
