strange noise in 20valve :( Tue, 04 March 2003 05:37 Go to previous message
Hey all I have been getting a strange noise from my 20v 4age that I can't explain. The car is a 94 ae101 trueno that is stock as and has had no mods done yet.

Its just a small sound like a slipping sound, kinda of short squeel kinda spinning noise. And its only there for half a second as the eninge hits 2500rpm, it goes away after that and isnt there before that. If i hold the speed at 2500rpm then it does keep making it which is strange. Its not that loud, I cant hear it wen i have the stereo turned up to the average volume but i can hear it if i have it off or low and Im sure passerbys can her it as im driving past and must be thinking to them selves wtf is up with that car.

Could it be one of the vee belts??? I would think if it was it would keep making the noise as the engine speed increased and not just at 2500rpm. Also how often should I replace the vee belts as I may think about doing it soo nanyway even if it's not them causing the sound

Im confident its not the ac belt cos i have tried with air con and fan on/off combos and its still there throughout.

I have a funny feeling it may be something to do with the clutch or gear box, could it be the clutch slipping??? About a month agao I had a small gearbox leak fixed and had the gearbox oil topped up and it was making the noise before that but now since doing that it has quietened down a bit, also it has had the oil changed so it could be any of these two thinkgs that quietened it a bit.

Does that belt spray stuff work that you can buy to renew old belts to stop em from slipping?

Someone must have some idea what it could be, please help out im desperate and its really annoying.

thanks in advance for anyhelp.
