Went over to Georgia for a wedding this past weekend and noticed a highed pitched sound when going up hills at 70-75 in our 02 1.8T Tip Passat. When the car made it to the top of the hill, the sound went away. I turned the cruise off and found that lifting my foot from the accelerator when going up hills would also make the sound quit. Therefore I am wondering if there is a leak in the turbo or induction system somewhere or whether it's a normal turbo sound that I just hadn't heard before. The sound had a constant pitch and I could just barely hear it. In fact I could only hear it on very smooth quiet asphalt surfaces. Thanks!
