Strange sound, little bit worried
« on: 28 July 2010, 12:43:25 »

Hey, im hearing a strange vibrating noise coming from the engine bay (may only sound like this as i cant drive the car and look under t.
he bonnet at same time)

It only occurs tho when the engine is at 3k revs and my foot is too the floor. and whilst its making said noise, i feels like theres a small drop in power as well.

Anyone got any thoughts as to what this may be?

if it's cambelt tensioner , you need to change asap..

if its from alternator or related parts, you need to service it..

Get someone to put their foot on the throttle and listen in the engine bay....if the noise comes from the front of the engine you definately have trouble.
