hey guys when i rev the car when drive alone their is this whining noise that gets louder the more i rev the car. So when i accelerate it gets louder and louder then take my foot off the accelerator it gets quieter and quieter. My mechanic reckons it is one of the bearing going in one of the pulleys, he reckons it is the bottom one anybody got any idea
thanks mitch

I used to have a whining noise when I was revving my previous car.

Eventually worked out it was coming from the passenger seat.

Got a divorce and haven't had any problems since...

This just started on mine last week... hoping that changing the 2 belts tomorrow will solve it.

If not then yeah, will be looking into the pullies!

Ay, i'd agree it's the pulleys or some sort of bearing/tensioner along any belt path. Slight chance it may be a belt making the noise but not likely.

well tell me how it goes and if urs stops then i may aswel do the same to mine to see if it stops

Bahahaha

love it

Not really a squeal, more of a high pitched whine, not very loud. Bearings are more likely I spose.

Dropping her into the local Mitsi garage tomorrow - no time to do it myself! Will let you know...

Sorted... teeth missing from my aircon belt All nice and non-whiney now. Plus my aircon's chucking out a lot more cold air!

if its at cold nights, couldn't it be the air filter?

my hks pod whines when the air is cold and sucking in air....kinda sounds like a supercharger actually =\

yip prob just belts mate the altenator can squell aand the air con too this also runs the pwersteering to mate replace both or for a quick fix justtighten a little bit
oh yeah and check passenger seat too just incase

thanks vip, knowing its a belt issue makes it a priority, gonna get it looked at.

i used to have the whining noise as well but it mainly happened when it was cold like at night

took it down to a mechanic and said the air con pulley bearing was loose got a 2nd hand one chucked in and havent heard it since

next time you get the noise pull over and rev it when the car in nutural. Does the hissing stay or disappear???

mine isnt affected by the engine revving in neutral...if it did whine with the engine revving i would have suspected interference from the alternator

alternator is working either way.

maybe that whinning sound is the sound of your supercharger? :p

+1 ive been thinking that this whole time

too bad the mivec and limited space makes it ALMOST impossible to have a bolt on supercharger... unless you happen to have very very deep pockets
