I have just recently started to hear a noise from my engine bay, it sounds a little like what you have..

I also thought that it was just noisy lifters so i did an oil flush, change and added some MBL8, but it hasnt totally gone..

Im going to have a look at it tomorrow when i get a chance..

You don't want to know what I think about that first post...

We're not psychic mechanics - if you can't give us a better idea of the problem we'd only be guessing. Have you done a full service on your car (new lubricants, filters, spark plugs, leads etc)? What part of the car / engine is the noise coming from?

 

[sexspecvr4]

coming from the pully side

 

[naughtika]

try pouring water on the a/c & p/s belt... if the noise goes away.. then it could be your belt wearing out and probably the pulley as well.. also do this to your alt belt too.. just in case..

 

[Guest]

Top or bottom of engine front or rear as there are a lot of pulleys.

 

[sexspecvr4]

sounds like bottom or middle mate just like a duc duc duc duc sound pissing me off
thanks for the help fellas

 

[Guest]

if it's not a pulley could be a damaged belt and if it fails it could damage a few expensive parts down there. The front lower tensioner pulley has a tendency to get noisy as it is nearest all the rubbish thrown up from the road but your description of the sound is wrong for it.

ive got a similar problem with my car

it only happens in the morning when its cold,when i first start the car it almost screeches from the alternator belt,thats what ive narrowed it down to,its realy loud when i start it and it idles on 1500 and slowly drops,but once i start driving and the car gets warmer,it goes away

happens every morning,wandering what it could be?

pully prolly has a bit of slack... or is breaking down.

have a look with a spotty and tighten when cold.

I agree with Brent - seen this heaps of times, almost certainly a slightly loose pulley
