    Strange engine noise

    Since yesterday afternoon, i notice my car sounds like a beetle in the 70s...

    What is going on? loose turbo bolt?

    i had a quick look on Vortex, hard to interpret but could be the O2 sensor near the Cat.

    have a look on Vortex, if you have the time to read through it, some usefull info there.
