20withascooby Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 heres the story my oil was a bit low so i topped it up with the same stuff and since then ive got this annoying noise it happens when slowing down and when im revving symptons of bottom end so ive been told and read but hthing is its a squeky noise like when you have hot brakes not a knocking noise and it only does it when the car is warm and between 2000-3000 rpm is really annoying no loss of power so water lost temp fine everything else ok
granby Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Without actually hearing it probably be difficult to say what it is

yogi- Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 heres the story my oil was a bit low so i topped it up with the same stuff and since then ive got this annoying noise it happens when slowing down and when im revving symptons of bottom end so ive been told and read but hthing is its a squeky noise like when you have hot brakes not a knocking noise and it only does it when the car is warm and between 2000-3000 rpm is really annoying no loss of power so water lost temp fine everything else ok That bad noise is your GF in ya ear saying spend it on me lol
20withascooby Posted January 11, 2008 Author Posted January 11, 2008 lol i dont think it is bottom end act thing sumthing had just got very wet and has starting to sqeek.as my went thru a big puddle in my van today and its making a almost identical noise also between 1500-2500 revs hmmmmm and its def a squeek not a rattle or a knock
j3rk Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 could be pulleys or belt? might just need tightening up?
20withascooby Posted January 11, 2008 Author Posted January 11, 2008 hope so its a loud screching noise like when your brakes are red hot and also when it was cooling down on drive tonight i noticed a little noise tht sounded like ablet about to start squeking to
j3rk Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) You didn't happen to spill any oil on the pulleys or belts did you? Checked yor water level? Edited January 11, 2008 by j3rk
20withascooby Posted January 11, 2008 Author Posted January 11, 2008 checked water level all ok temp ok boost ok everything ok and yea i did spill some oil as i was a idiot trying to do it in dark and was trying to do it straight outta bottle which was full instead of using a cup or sumthing
j3rk Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 Hopefully nothing major then just a little belt squeak is all from oil on belt
20withascooby Posted January 11, 2008 Author Posted January 11, 2008 only does it when the car is warm tho i spilt sum and cudnt get to where it was to wipe it up it was behind where the belts are so cudda shot forward when i braked
Garth W Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 lol i dont think it is bottom end act thing sumthing had just got very wet and has starting to sqeek.as my went thru a big puddle in my van today and its making a almost identical noise also between 1500-2500 revs hmmmmm and its def a squeek not a rattle or a knock Hi m8 sounds like the alternator belt squealing cheaper fix than the bottom end i tell thee!

20withascooby Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 ryt update few ppls ahve listened to it today coz when im under the bonnet u cant hear it.one person said def not bottomw end its a totally diff noise sounds like a sqeaky/loose pulley or belt sumwhere second person said def not bottom end sounds like sumthing rattling underneath the car e.g my exhast or sumthing inside it so thats cheered me up a bit
luke_clifton Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 bottom end noise would be a very dead metal to metal noise. Have you checked the heat shields there prone to cracking and causing horrible noises At the rpm you mentioned. Failing that, you could have the problem that I currently have..... A blowing uppipe, makes a similar noise too. Hope its nothing too £££
20withascooby Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 havent got any heatplates on it atm.ive had it blowning b4 i riped a hole in it undernaeth where it bolts onto the bearbox i think it is ripped clean off wondering if ive dun the same thing again
luke_clifton Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 upipe blowing noise sounds very much like something more expensive deano diagnosed mine as uppipe as I too immediatly thought bottom end.
20withascooby Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 wat noise has yours got got it booked in with him i no i did have a bol a bit loose on the turbo where it bolts onto up pipe hmmmmmm lol noises are so annoying
luke_clifton Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 My noise is similar to tappets, and you can hear it through out the rev range no squeaking noises though. Leaking uppipes are very common on the classics though. A loose bolt is never good lol.
20withascooby Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 bolt was changed and tightned though really dont no but its not bottom end coz been otld i would no if it was that just by the noise it wud be a heartbreaking noise lol this is just annyoing
dazzlers82 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 bolt was changed and tightned though really dont no but its not bottom end coz been otld i would no if it was that just by the noise it wud be a heartbreaking noise lol this is just annyoing have you sorted this yet mate
