can anyone diagnose...unusual whistling noise
 

Okay so the past week ive noticed a low pitch whistling noise which i can hear inside the car, it gets higher in pitch when accelerating and then lower again when decelerating. its a 2000 facelift classic sport.
many thanks in advance

Does it happen when you rev the engine in Neutral?

More likely to be the window seals, or try it with your stereo switched off.

yea seems to happen all the time plus increases if i gently rev the engine

Check the level of the power steering fluid. I had that happen in my Celica GT4. The pump got noisy. Or it could be a failing/failed cambelt tensioner or the alternator.

The missus ?

nah she's more of a screamer :norty: :lol1:

hmm might have to check that cam belt then, unless it could be the diff whining??

Blowing up-pipe

ok stupid question time, where would that be located next to?

Its the pipe between the exhaust headers(manifold) and the turbo. Its located on the o/s of the car. Be careful. Gets very hot. It may not be the up-pipe but ive known a few blow and they make a very high pitch whistle

sorry mate its a sport so no turbo :(

Lol my mistake. Obviously i didnt read it properly. Still worth checking all the exhaust joints etc
