103TDI turbo whistle

Leaking is also normal, and new o-rings donlt do anything as the connection is poor to start with, even the Porsche's suffer from it. You can simply ignore it, as it;s no big deal, but if like me you want that last kw, then undo the clip ( note how and where it sits as you have to get it exactly right to save dropping a hose on the road ) clean up the connections with some degreaser and prepsol / metho etc, and silastic them together.

Afraid other than that, you will have to live with it. Point it out next service, maybe they have a dealer fix too.

I had the clamp come loose off the exhaust outlet of the turbo whilst at a track day in Brisbane.
Quick trip to Jmac's workshop and a new bolt fixed it straight away.
Sounded great though!

Why can't you buy a 'bug' that transmits on a car radio frequency the sound of the exhaust at the outlet?

My trick is to pull it apart like greg has said, clean it, and then lube the o ring with petroleum jelly. It will swell a bit once you put it back together (takes hours) and might seal better (for a while).
