unpleasant noise from engine
 

i have a strange noise coming from the engine when started from cold. its more like a eeeeeeeee ee eeeeeeee noise lol, i assume it may be coming from the pulleys but not too sure. it dont sound like the fan belt is loose. gradually as the car gets warm it disappears.

any opinions welcome, version 3 sti

thanks eeeeeeee eee eeeeeeee eeee eeeeeeeee

Do you have air con? If it's not been run for a while it can make a noise. Not sure if its a 'eeeeee eee eeeeeee eee eeeeee' noise:lol1:

ye i got aircon i never use it, gives me a head rush.....is that what it could be?

Could well be. Just take it for a run with the air con on (open the window if you like). Let it run for about 30 mins and it should stop. This happened to mine and I now just switch it on once a month and its never returned. If it still makes the noise after then it is time to look elsewhere.

time to catch a cold....thanks will try it, btw wer abouts is the A/C located in the bay?

As you look at the front of the engine its the pulley on the top right hand corner of the engine.

oh i see thanks, btw my name is shahnawaz nice to meet u :notworthy

or could it be the power steering pump semi dry?just a thought
