Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

It shouldn't be a wear issue with such low km. It's possible the windscreen hasn't been sealed properly but I would have thought you'd notice some wind noise or something like it as well. The other option is that the turbo has foreign object damage and is a little unbalanced, or less severe, there's a break/crack in the turbo intake pipe which will certainly make it louder. Finally it could be a crack in the exhaust... Pretty unlikely I would think.'07 Touareg V6 TDI with air suspension

Could be that when your windscreen is hot its lifting off the bead of sealant somewhere....?'07 Touareg V6 TDI with air suspension

The windscreen blocks all other noise perfectly. i don't hear and wind noise either.
My bet is to check all the intercooler pipes and fitting near the turbo etc.Comment

Yeah my vote is the outlet tube from the turbo, they have those crappy c clamps, and a small leak there is very very obvious. When I removed the silencer in the start of the intercooler plumbing, and the turbo was dumping straight into an aftermarket silicon elbow, it was very obtrusive up high on the dash, ended up going back to the stock fitting.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

if the windscreen's not sealing, check the carpet for wet areas in the footwells, after any rainSteve

Pressure test the car body?
(imagines using several workshop VAC's to pump air into the car via a taped up window, whilst hosing around the windscreen looking for bubbles!)

Yeah go see Jimmy at Alba European in Slacks Creek, he has a smoke machine for leak testing / porno shoots.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment
