Spurts of "hissing" from driver side of engine at 80mph

Post by doctorwedgeworth »

Anyone know what this could be? Checked the tyres they seem ok but when I go above 80mph every few seconds there's a really loud hissing noise like an air valve releasing. Can hear it over music and seems to be coming from right hand vent next to the engine but it's hard to be sure

Might be an idea to, you know, let us know exactly what version MR2 you're driving :wink:
