Noise from ENGINE :(
 

Ive got a noise Can anyone help me??

Now this has only happened since ive been back from holiday (& after the car got trashed)

& ive only driven it 4 times since ive been back...

Only noticed noise apon having to boot it to get out of trouble on a roundabout,
its a WINEING, NOISE (a bit like if you are decelarating down the gears BUT louder)
Now this noise was very loud (after hitting about 6000rpm in 1st gear) & then was constant throughout the rest of the journey home.

When i started car up again a few days later & took it for a spin, NO NOISE,
then i put my foot down to see if it was still there & Yes it came back..
Same as before..

3rd time of driving No noise at all

4th time of driving it was show a garage technition the noise..
and it didnt want to make the noise even after booting it.
& then it did, & this time every time i put my foot on the clutch the noise seemed to get quiet/ ease off??
But was really loud inhigh revs in 1st & 2nd & 3rd gear.
But very quiet in 4th & 5th. but still there.

The mechanic says its NOT the TURBO (as he knows that noise)
The Mechanic says its NOT the Diff
The Mechanic says it maybe the gear box??
The Mechanic says it maybe the clutch??

But to be 100% honest he doesnt really know.

If you need any more info Please ask & i'll try & help.

Gearbox would be my bet :(

Baz, does the car seem to drive differently?

Have you still got the same level of performance etc...

Yes still got the power (what little it had)
drives the same, just makes this noise,
But only after it get booted..
& nearly goes when clutch is depressed.

Does it do it in all gears?? Ask NickBes about that one, his was whining in 4th and 5th gear, all the time, very annoying noise, sounded a bit like a top notch drag gear box. Fine since fitting a new one. :wonder:

Yes my gear box did that, there was no loss of performance but it made a noise, it started in 4th and 5th and then 3rd too and started to get louder and louder!! The previous owner had let the oil run dry :brickwall The gear box had a small leak somewhere and the gear box oil was all gone. The noise did not stop when put some oil in it so I got another gear box and the noise has now gone. :luxhello:

Sorry but it does sound like it could be the same thing!

FIXED

Just to let you know, that the noise was sortted by ESSEX SUBARU BREAKERS in under 2 minutes..
