Any ideas? It’s like a whistling sort of noise when I take my foot off accelerator to slow down but disappears when I press the pedal again? I don’t have any specials mods that’d do this by the way, just anstandard m40b18 engine and it’s annoying me because I don’t fancy the car dying on me

When you take your foot off of the accelerator, the vacuum in the inlet plenum increase to maximum, so a whistle probably indicates a small air leak into the inlet.
Plenty of possibilities, but inlet manifold gasket would be a likely candidate.
