Gretie22 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 What is this noise? Only when cold, not everytime it's cold though and it completely stops once the car is warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Does the noise change with engine speed? Sounds to me like it's either an exhaust blow or an auxillary belt noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretie22 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah noise gets faster with engine speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 And can you hear it if you open the bonnet? TT or NA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretie22 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Urm can't say I've opened the bonnet yet (I'm pretty useless at these things) will check tomorrow. It's a TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Could be exhaust manifold. Sounds to rhythmic to be a blow after the turbo. But could still be aux belt related or an ancillary off the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'd say belt rubbing, something rubbing against the plastic cam-belt cover - at a push - PAS pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretie22 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Well I'm actually in Hampshire now - Aldershot. Just had a little read up, sounds like it could be the power steering pump, as come to think of it now, sometimes when I'm parking there is a rubbing sound (not on full lock, it's not the wheels in the arches).

Benjy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 If you ever go near Reigate or Gatwick you can always pop it into my place and I'll have a listen. If you get stuck that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Might be worth checking the power steering fluid levels. The pump can get quite noisey if it's low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be driving it too much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Whilst you are there worth checking out the crank pulley too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayfun.tugra Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah noise gets faster with engine speed. Did you carry out the refurb with the alternator not so long ago? Could be that the belt has slipped from improper install etc. heres a guide. http://www.gates.com/brochure.cfm?brochure=2837&location_id=3373 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Read that how is it checked though? The best way is what is called the "tipex test" basically you draw a line along the side of the pulley facing you to see if the inner & outer part are moving apart. They shouldn't an you should see a straight white line. I am on my phone but if you look up tipex test you should find some threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretie22 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hello again, right I've done the tipex test, crank pulley is fine. Started the car yesterday the noise wasn't there. Just been out and started it today, the noise is there again, opened the bonnet, the noise isn't coming from under there. It's defiantly coming from underneath near the back of the engine. Any ideas?

Gretie22 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Oh I've also checked the power steering fluid, that's fine. Going to bleed the power steering system at the weekend, need the axle stands but their at my parents house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraGZaerotop Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) mines does this aswel, and my old TT bk in 2008-9 used to do it, only from cold and goes away when i drive off, few yards down the road. can only really here it at idle, cannot hear from under bonnet only from under the car, driver side/gearbox area. ive noticed it quieten's down a bit if i put it in drive!! dont do it all the time, every now and then, i wouldint really say its down to the amount of time left standing ether as i can sometimes go without driving the supra for 9-10 days, parked up in the garage and it wont definatly make this noise after all that time parked up. its very strange, engine is sweet, car been serviced, checked over, garage kept it over night, said they could here it, it was them who told me where abouts it was coming from. they didint really have time to go in depth as it was in for other work at the time. but they said dont worry about it. ive just put it down to yeah maybe a slight leak on the manifold side of things or just general wear on a some other part. dont effect the car so im not bother, altho i would like one day to sort it out, not a great noise to hear come from youre car really. let me know how you get on, Edited January 7, 2014 by supraGZaerotop (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
