    My Jetta just started doing this... I am not hearing the normal Turbo whistling noise when I give it a lot of gas, however I now hear a squealing noise. Sounds similar to a loose belt kinda whining/squealing ... you hear it just for a moment when you press the gas hard and then it goes away

    so I've narrowed my problems down to the axel on my car, check the bearings and they seem to be fine, my tire and rim are sound, lower control arm, and ball joints are all fine but I'm not sure how long my axel boot has been broken open partially and its starting to make a humming and vibrating...
