New Noise.. (oh no!)



I was driving my rocco, today.. (went to a Drama Play   , went to play pool,
etc)

And i have a fun new noise. Fun in the sense that it's going to drive me
nuts if
i don't figure it out. Actually it's not that bad, but when you spend time
listening
to the engine instead of the radio/cds cause it sounds so nice you notice
little wierd
things.

1) Today was the first time i noticed it.
2) I drove it Thursday and then last friday before that. (didn't notice it)
3) It comes in at high revs.. mmm 4k+ it's really easy to hear.
4) easier to notice in 3rd or 4th (5th never gets past 5k.. (FN Tranny))

Basicly it's kind of a well. "ShhhShhhsshhhs" sound.. Not a whistle, and
it's
not that little whistle the air filter/intake makes at really high revs
(that
is still there). If i had to imaging what would make a sound like that, i
would
think of liquid spray at high pressor mixed with air maybe.... IE the
injectors spraying kinda.

I havn't really noticed any power loss.. but it never really had very much
power.
(8v JH stock (as far as i know))

Or maybe a leak in the vacum hoses somewhere.

Am i loosing my mind, or has this happend to anyone before.


PS: I love my scirocco. It's so nice to look at. I dream about it sometimes,
I only drive it about once or twice a week, because everytime i do i wash
it before i park it at school (in a heated garage even =p ).
Even though it's a slow cow 8v with a Wide ratio tranny.. It's still
beautiful to me.
