Hi guys I've been noticing a weird sound when accelerating. When I accelerate from 1st gear to 2nd, there would be a weird sound like blowing in a fan sound or driving with a plastic bag hanging out your door. It also happens from 2nd to 3rd, and less noticeable in higher gears. My next service is at 90,000kms but I'm not sure if I should get it checked now at 85,000kms.
Anyone else experienced the same problem? Cheers :thumbsup:

maybe a seal problem? air is rushing in? although it wouldn't explain the high gear thing, maybe because in higher gears you aren't accelerating as quick?

sounds like it's coming from the engine bay area
