Wooshing noise as I accelerate in each gear.

[KILOCHARLIE]

Just came back from a weekend away (a good 400 miles done @ 90 mph+) and for some reason i'm getting a wooshing sound as i get mid to high revs.

it almost sounds like someone is turning the heater blower up as i am revving through the gears.

it hasn't affected performance, or anything else, but it drowns out the noise of the engine revving and sounds like i'm driving a hair dryer.

anyone know what this may be?

just cleaned my air filter, checked plugs etc and took her or a little drive

it now feels like there's not much power 3500 rpm and up. like the car is holding back.

i'm thinking a vacuum leak from what i've found on some old threads.

anyone else think so too?

thanks in advance if you can help.

The Wooshing might be your fan clutch. The easiest test is to remove the fan and clutch (reverse threaded, need 32mm spanner wrench) and take it out for a spin. If the wooshing is gone, drop some money on a new fan clutch. About $140. At least it is something that can be checked easily.

could be a vaccumm leak, do you get any fault codes? or have you had one recently?
