shifted Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I have two videos, car has recently started to make weird noises again, I thought it was the Power Steering but it is full up with liquid like it should be so can't be that? Anyone know what the sound is? I have to fix the starter motor (its failing - the contacts and plunger - got a how-to) but it shouldn't be anything to do with that? Anyway, let me know what you think. Before driving: After driving: Kinda a weird ticking sound, you can hear it after the throttle is pushed better than when it isn't, but it was there constantly. Any ideas/comments/help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I can't really tell alot from the vids mate, only thing I car hear on them is what sounds like a worn AUX belt noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Couldnt really hear much on my laptop, sure its not just normal injector noise? If not Ill go with Pbroke, aux belt tensioner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 doesnt sound anything like power steering pump, can you hear where its coming from? top the engine or does it sound like somewhere else in the engine bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifted Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Cheers for the replies guys. Kinda sounds more from the top of the engine than anywhere else. I don't know what an AUX Belt Tensioner is, but I will do some research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 It'll be the aux belt tensioner then, its decieving, When I first heard the noise on a Soarer I was convinced I had a cam bearing gone, turns out it was the tensioner. If you look at the coil pack cover thendraw a line from it down the front of the block youll see a pulley, thats the tensioner. Its either the bearing in the pulley wheel or the mount on the block, my moneys on the mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Having done a little digging for you, first thing I'd go is change the belt. Apparently some belts cause all sorts of noises. get one from toyota and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_vr6 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 could be the belt, I had a new toyota one and it squeeled on start up for weeks and then left an annoying and worrying ticking sound for the rest of the time it was running, I ended up buying a patent one from ebay before going to buy a new tensioner and low and behold the cheapy belt was silent worth changing the belt.

I will have to check it out, unfortunately here in Aus, if Toyota can even get the parts they are highly expensive. You would not happen to have a part number or a list of part numbers for future reference? I will then try source a new set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got an example I can look at? I don't want to risk buying a part and I buy the wrong one, which in my experience, is bound to happen. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for such a silly response, but I honestly have a bucketload to learn about cars. Are you talking about the area where there is a harmonic balancer? Ie, as per this photo: Here is a shot of the engine bay, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas/comments/help would be greatly appreciated. sounds like it could be the exhaust manifold is blowing, what you could do is get a stethoscope/ tubing in the ear and listen to the engine whilst its running this may help you pinpoint the area of trouble, best of luck regards chris.
