Supra ST Myster Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 i had the same noise, when i changed over to single after a quick blast when i was testing it, one of the coolant pipes came off and drained very low, lucky i was close to home so i could limp it back but the water pump starting makeing a hell of a nose and it ran dry, took a good few mins after filling it back up for the water pump to settle back down and run fine again, so have you let it run for a bit?

colsoop Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hey Emin I let it run for a few minutes, not very long though, do you reckon a short drive or more time idling might help ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 i would take it for a quick trip round the block to see if it clears it, wont do it any harm as its now full of coolant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra ST Myster Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 ah good to hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 I think i was a bit premature there (no change there ) The noise is back , what i am going to do is bleed the system fully and see how it goes. I may get a gargae to use their vacuum system just to be sure as it is due an oil change anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Right i tried bleeding the noise is still here i am going to get a local garage to have a look and see if they can bleed it better than me .

uk-rich Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 when i do a coolant change i jack the front up(high as poss), filling it slowly never had a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 A high pitched noise is usually a intake manifold Joint/gasket leak. You can usually diagnose this by using a WD40 spray and spraying it around diiferent parts of the intake, the noise will diasppear for a few seconds when you hit the correct spot.

SupraStar 3000 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Col. Sorry I can't help, useless with technical stuff, but try finding a section of rigid tube and use it like a doctors stethoscope to pin-point the area of noise. I'll even dress up as a Nurse if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have cracked it, it wasn't sealing propely on the manifold to throttle body face due to a bit of powdercoat on the edge of the bolt hole that i had missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
