Saaber Neutral Newbie November 2, 2003 Share November 2, 2003 could be the fan belt pulleys?....or just plain wind noise....need to hear to confirm... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged November 2, 2003 Author Share November 2, 2003 the sound really sounds like wind.....i wouldn't have cared much if it was coming from behind...... alas it came from the front......still i was wondering whether the car was not properly insulated in the front or one of the belt was running properly u could be right it was the fan belt, but just wondering how come it only come on at >130km if it was the fan belt.......could it be the timing belt?

Mmythos Neutral Newbie November 2, 2003 Share November 2, 2003 Does it happen all the time or only at that particular time? Couldn't be the belt problem cos it is related to engine rpm, regardless of the vehicle speed... better to get one of the old bird here to hear it out or simply send to the mechanic...

Acemundo Supercharged November 2, 2003 Author Share November 2, 2003 it happens all the time when the speed goes above 130km/h......could it be the timing belt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged November 19, 2003 Author Share November 19, 2003 could be the fan belt pulleys?....or just plain wind noise....need to hear to confirm... my friend mechanic just confirmed its the engine mashing sound..........what does it mean actually? just curious to learn more about this, wondering whether any experts here can explain what it is actually according to him every car triggers this sound at a certain speed. strange though cos my small car have still yet to trigger this sound even at 130km/h ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
