Strange noises
« on: 08 February 2004, 21:18 »
Bought me car in December, and recently starting hearing a stange squeaky noise when the car is ticking over and engine is cold.  Don't think its fanbelt as doesn't get worse when rev.  Any ideas?

Also- when really put me foot down, at about 5000 revs start to hear a kind of quiet rushing sound ( the engine sound gets less throaty and more whistly ). The red-line's not till after 6000 revs as got 20v.  Any ideas or am I just being paranoid - I can only hear it when radio is off and I listen carefully.

Similar thing happened in ours. VW traced it to a faulty cam belt tensioner. They replaced this, together with a new cam belt and water pump, under warranty.

Which was nice.
