RobSheffield Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 ok, i searched but only found mention of the 'death whine' searched MKiv.com, because im sure there was a file somewhere that was a recording of 'death whine' i have an odd noise on my car when boosting hard...be aware that its only my 5th day with the car on the road, so virtually every noise is 'odd' to me! my fuel pump is as noisy as i dont know what (im told its an aftermarket one...plans to remove it and identify it soon) this new noise sounded similar to the fuel pump, but seemed to come from the front of the car...and now it doesnt do it any more! any ideas?!

SimonB Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Probably just the turbos whistling, they all do that. Don't panic! If your turbos blow you'll certainly know it from the large clouds of smoke and total lack of power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 im starting to feel reassured im told the J Specs dont whine, and that its possibly my Blitz SUS filter im going to monitor the situation, but im not too worried, its a sound car, is running 1.0 bar, pulls very strongly, and has only covered 40,000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Cheers Rob, I have an intermittant noise that comes in at around 4000 RPM, sounds a bit like death whine, but it's only very short lived, and it isn't every time I get to 4000. When it does occur I can kinda feel it through the accelerator pedal. Is this the same sort of noise as yours? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Seriously ? that's reassuring. Mike yep serious well thats what he told me pm him am sure it was somethng to do with the tread at certain speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hmmm, I can get my non-turbo Volvo 440 to make a sound like that. Theres is this one corner near my village and both the Supra and the Volvo make the same scary noise at about 60 at this corner. Weird but it might add weight to the tyre noise theory.

VIL Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have started a few threads regarding a whine I am getting at certain revs, usually when the boost starts to come in. Its not the `death whine` but is a loud howl/drone noise. You can hold the noise if you keep the revs constant, as soon as you give it just a bit more gas/or back off slightly it stops instantly? There have been quite a few suggestions from split pipes causing a boost leak to prop bearings. Ultimately I am going to have to get it looked at, if I get a successful diagnosis of the problem I will post it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
