Hoping for some advice or help...

Have the Range Rover vogue and have had this annoying loud noise whilst driving for over a year!! It's intermittent but happens rather a lot but not every journey , it's as I take my foot off the accelerator it sounds like a chugging noise (like cogs scraping against each other)

It's been in numerous times to my local dealer who keep saying they can't recreate the noise and haven't heard it.

4 times now whilst driving and having the noise I have driven to th dealer stopped outside for barely few seconds for a technician to jump in to hear the noise and every time suddenly the noise disappears!! I can understand once maybe or twice but on four sepearate occasions !!

Yet have had Range Rover assist come to my house before and as soon as they got in the car they heard the noise immediately... seems rather odd that it disappears the second I am outside the dealership garage!

Managed to get a video of the Noise and one technician said it could be noise of turbo cutting in too soon .... it happens when taking foot off accelerator and under 2500 revs , has anyone had anything similar or can offer any advice ?

Yes on the turbo.... they said they will look at that and when they listened to videos of the noise one the technicians said it could be a blocked airpath?!
