    Vacuum noise behind dash 16v

    Clio 1.8 16v (1993)

    Does anyone else have this noise when giving the car death.

    Both mine and my mates do it but I cant find were it is coming from lol

    I cant find any type of vacuum pipe behind the dash at all.

    although since my car has been playing up I havent heard it :(

    any ideas what it is ??

    cheers
