ALH engine whistle when reving

Hi, i have this problem and its anoying. When i push the gas and when ist over 1500 rpm it whistles. But when i slowly pust the pedal it doesent. So i guess its the turbo. The egr is also leaking from the hole but i still think its the turbo. I made a video https://youtu.be/t090GFwPrDI

Here is the picture of the egr valve

Did you disconnect the charge air hose just for the photo, or are you driving around like that?

No i was just checking out how the egr looks if its dirty and made a photo of it then.

They get that way, pretty normal. I guess your looking for a small air leak in one of the big tubes or could be the turbo bearing, they spin fast enough to make a whistle.
These engines do make noise, is this something you heard all of a sudden?
Can you shrink or thumbnail that photo?

hey i got this error code with vcds ,, found the wires that are damaged to.

can this be the cause?

can anyone check that if they are ok

thanks

I don't think the intermittent issue with the N239 or the leaking EGR would cause a whistle. But a broken EGR cooler pipe or boost leak would. Look at the boost hoses and connections for oil, which would indicate a leak. And look at the EGR cooler pipes as well as your downpipe for soot. A broken downpipe at the flex or CAT (common) could cause the whistle you're hearing.

I'm not positive but I think in block 13 the deviation may be out or the recommended range.
Low of -0.45 to 0.56 may be to wide.
Someone here will correct me if I'm wrong.

-2.0 to 2.0 is the spec, but generally if you're pushing 1.0 or more you should take a closer look at why (injectors or compression).

I thought I read the spread through the range you listed was lowest to highest was 1.0 max (maybe less).

My guess is a leaky EGR stainless steel laminated gasket singing.

so today i did a long high way drive and then inspected all the big hoses and found nothing, the boost leak you mean the pipes behind the egr that are tubes protected by cloth ? those i dident check. I found the wires connected to EGR one was split so i improvised today and no more error tomorow il go to the vw dealer if he has 20 cm of exact wires so i can sold them new. Hard to find car wires here. So i can only wait till i go to Bosnia so i can lift the car on the lift and inspect everything else under. Got pretty anoying allready. What do you suggest i take the whole egr off and inspect? Also ill make soapy wather and try it on the pipes and hoses. Should i also inspect my nozzles? So and so i was wondering to replace the 185 with 205 ones. Do i need to optimize with vcds if i do so?

the laminated metal gasket is pictured here:

If the joint that the gasket is sealing is loose or otherwise faulty, exhaust pressure will cause the joint to leak and rattle the the gasket causing a squeal or whistle.
If it whistles long enough, it can shatter the gasket layers.

All looks to be okay, i found one of the boost lines behind the egr valve with a hole in it and replaced it. Now car doesent start to whistle that soon but still does. I will try to replace all the lines but the mechanic said its the turbo.

This video ive made is from 2nd to 4th and then 5th gear going on a small up hill so its under load and you can hear the whistle going from 1000 rpm.
