Hi Guy's,

I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this before. When I start my car first thing in the morning after about 10-20 seconds it makes a whislte noise. Although it never does this during the day or if the car has recently been driven. The whistle noise goes for about 3-15 seconds although I have never noticed it getting worse or making a louder or longer noise. It has been doing it for about 2 weeks now, and always when the car is cold in the morning. Although after work when the car is cold it doesnt do it.

Has anyone got any ideas or suggestions???

Thanks

Mark

The reason I asked was maybe it is leaking exhaust gas some where like the welding might of cracked etc.

I too have notice my car sometime has a whistling noise when starting up. Not alot but I have heard it before.

It goes for about a little bit and than disappear.

Not sure dude! Have it check out.

Thankyou heaps for the ideas guys, im gona get it checked out this thursday wen i get some king springs fitted.

I had my head under there yesterday wen i started it and it sounds near the exaust. I just hope it doesn't end up being something bad, coz im trying to save for a cooler before summer arrives :)

Thanks again for all you help

Hi There Makaveli,

Sometimes in the morning when driving off I notice a similar thing, when I back off the throttle you can hear it

for me its more of a whining/honking sound.. really hard to describe

only goes for a short time as well..

not too concerned bout it..

post back with your findings!

Cheers

chicane :burnout: :burnout:

Hi chicane,

I dont hear any more whistle noises!!!!! Yesterday I decided to do an engine flush, change the oil and oil filter, while is was doing that I thought i'd clean the air flow meter and filter.

Even though I had changed the oil about 3,000k's ago I think the oil was too thick therefore being harder to mover around the engine when cold, I also noticed the engine note sounding abit more crisp :D

Chicane let me know how ur prob turns out, Im still a lil supsicious about the belts and I'll probably get them changed soon.

Take it easy

:)

my car had a quiet whistle when cold which disappeared when warm. after a while the whiste wouldnt go away when warm and would be more of a muffled scream when cold, eventually the exh wheel of the turbo blew out the exh along with lotsa smoke...

how much boost you running?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
