Hey again all,
I have recently noticed a high pitched whiring noise from my engine. I cant quite locate it, it seems to be comming from the drivers side somewhere near the top. I cant do better than that. So i have a suspicion it is the powersteering pump but cant say confidently that it is the culprit (also read a thread where alternator made similar noise (as similar as one whirring noise is to another )). So what i want to know is can i run my car (idle) for a while without the accesories belt (serpentine/drive belt whatever takes ure fancy  ) providing i dont let the car get too hot this should be all good yeah?This is what i did for the VN powersteering pump (yes i had a VN  py: )run with belt off, make sure the noise isnt from the engine, then play with the accesories and see which one is crunchy when spun or whirs. And i have tried the screwdriver, stethoscope trick already no help :( Any input appreciated, Simo. |
