Full disclosure: I've only owned my GQ for 2 months, so I'm very green and learning as I go.
Lately I have been noticing a buzzing noise from the engine bay while driving (usually under medium load, doesn't happen when taking off or at higher load). Today I decided to check it out more thoroughly. So I pulled the injector throttle link to see if I could locate the source. It seems to be coming from the turbo wastegate. The sound is like a hollow metallic rattling.
I also noticed that the wastegate hose is disconnected, and has a bolt blocking it off, so it seems to have been done on purpose. Is that a problem?
