Replying to: danb315 (Jan 20, 2008 8:10 am) Which engine? 2.7L, 3.5L or 5.7L? The 5.7L has a tick that can be heard with the hood open. Not sure if you will get much help here. Chargerforums will be your best bet and if you search the forums in the problem section it is discussed quite a bit and sometimes the dealer will say its normal.

Replying to: batista (Jan 20, 2008 8:24 pm) try lxforums.   lifter? timing chain?   My 5.7 is not that smooth at idle, being a pushrod engine, but smooths out progressively as the RPMS go up.

Replying to: danb315 (Jan 20, 2008 9:40 am) Could be noisy injectors as well.
#40 of 59 New 2008 Charger SE Plus...whistle noise from exhaust system by spikescharger Apr 06, 2008 (12:15 pm)
Hi everyone....I just bought a 2008 Charger with the 3.5 L Se plus packager...love the car so far ...except for just one thing....there is a whistling noise coming apparently from the exhaust in front of the left rear wheel...its sort of loud.....sounds like a jet engine ....its constant when idling, and I cant hear it inside the car.....its not unbearablely loud....but it sounds like an air leak of some sort....is this normal??? The car runs fine. I bought the car two days ago, with 20 miles on it. Thanks!!!

Replying to: spikescharger (Apr 06, 2008 12:15 pm) Hey I think I have the same problem, I also have an SE plus, let me ask you this, do you hear it when your driving and the radio is off? I think the noise gets louder when I accelerate. Replies to this message: wwhitejr75 (Sep 10, 2008 2:55 am)
#42 of 59 Change oil by lvmycharger Jun 30, 2008 (8:09 am)
Have a question for other Charger owners. Recently bought a new Charger, owners manual says to change oil every 6,000 miles. In my other vehicles, I have changed oil every 3,000. I just don't know if I should follow the manual's recommendation for every 6 or if I should still go ahead every 3. 6 would be great, but is it too good to be true or what? Any advice? Thanks!

Replying to: lvmycharger (Jun 30, 2008 8:09 am) I change the oil every 6 months because I use synthetic. Based on the owners manual you can't be denied warranty work unless you exceed the 6 month maximum.

Replying to: wterry (May 08, 2008 6:27 pm) Are you still having this problem? I love my Charger SE Plus, but I am hearing the same noises. I think this happens the worse when I am driving at constant speeds. I have to increase the speed of the vehicle in order for the noise to go away. The constant whistling noise outside of the vehicle is the fuel pump (at least this is what the Dodge technician has told me). We compared four Dodge Chargers and they all do the same thing, BUT the whistle noise while I accelerate cannot be normal. If I take my foot off the gas, the noise goes away. If I continue to go at a constant speed, the noise returns. This is embarrassing! If anyone has any feedback or updates on how they resolved this issue...please let me know. I am taking this vehicle back to the dealer until I get a resolution. I will keep the forum posted. Thanks!

Replying to: spikescharger (Apr 06, 2008 12:15 pm) I have the same problem on the 2008 SE Plus 3.5L Many other people have this issue on their cars and it seems like its not just the 08 models. Owners of 2006 and 2007 models report the same issue. This seems more of a design flaw than a problem. Check out the thread regarding this whistle here: Charger Whistle - ChargerForums.com   Hopefully the manufacturer will find a resolution and release the information to the service departments at the dealerships because it does not seem that anyone had this fixed yet even though the service advisers can hear the whistle.
