Hi,

When accelerating hard in 2nd gear I notice a weird, what sounds like buzzing sound emanating from behind the instrument console / air vents. It only happens above 7000 rpm. The car's warmed up properly and all that. Just done 5000 miles. I've never taken it above 7.5 K

It sounds like general vibration rather than anything more serious but I never noticed it in my STi IV.

Anybody know what this is or experienced it themselves ?

Thanks in anticipation.

Regards,

Simon

 

Pound notes flying out the exhaust pipe maybe? sorry!

Speedo cable?

Bob mate, it was my screaming cos of your driving

On an aside, when I took the VERY loud full SS system off my MY00 and put the standard one back on to take it to the dealer to PX it, I couldn't believe how many squeaks, rattles and groans it had that I hadn't heard with the SS system on LOL

 

Dave = Big Bear @ Swindon run.
But yes the SS exhaust covers a multitude of noises.

 

Bob

LOL

Thought you were having a pop at me - not that i'm bothered!

 

Thanks all.. Particularly Dave T-S; the most useful reply!.

Pete; thanks for the hilarity. That was rather good - whoever you are.

I'll stick some foam in my ears.

It could be the SH residual dump valve, GOD DAMMIT Lewis you beat me to it again, your gettin pretty fast at climbing from underneath that scrapper, your keyboard must be covered in oil by now

 

I have to say - despite the fact I own a P1 --> Pslewis's response here *was* funny........
Very clever matey

This BBS is great !

Many of the cars suffer from vibration of the three brake/clutch pipes that run along the bulkhead above the brake master cylinder giving a peculiar buzzing noise - normally whilst giving it large in second and changing to third.

The cure is to stuff a bit of foam rubber in between the pipes and the bulkhead.

 

I also had a few strange noises coming from my P1. I sorted them with a full ScoobySports Exhaust system.
I do get a high pitched sound coming from my left when at high rev's but I tell Dave to shut up. (Sorry Dave could not resist.)

 

The Engine!!!
