sounds like when ur powersteering is low and you turn the wheel. except its constant not only when turning.

so i thought the pump was going out, but i pulled the powersteering belt and the noise was still there any ideas?

i was thinking water pump but i hope not.

 

One of your drive belts, my bet is the alternator belt is loose and it makes that loud annoying screeching noise. Tighten the belt and that should solve your problem.

 

ill check it but its not really a high pitched noise.

 

Well, any way you can get a video of it?

 

working on it. k video not workin. any more ideas. belts where tight.

 

anyone?

 

does it sound like a cricket dude?

got that vid. you can hear it best at the end.

ac compressor giving up.SOLVED

 

wow sounds bad good luck bro

 

just need a confirmation pretty sure its one of these:


AC compressor/alternator (taking off belt to check after this)
TimingBelt/Tensioner
Input shaft bearing(dont think so because sound comes from timing belt side)

let me know what you guys think. thanks.

 

my waterpump didn't make any noise when it went. it just cracked and spewed coolant out

 

yea my car doesnt overheat either so im thinking its a bad tensioner. is the timing belt tensioner hydraulic or spring?

 

anyone?

 

i finally pulled the ac belt and the compressor was the problem.

this sound was caused by an ac compressor on its way out

well atleast its drivable, but a timing belt and tensioner woulda been cheaper to replace.

hopes this helps someone while they're searching thanks guys. HONDA-TECH

 

sounded like you also had some valve tap in there

 

yea u should try an oil additive. like lucas. do you run synthetic?

 

I'm saying in that one guys video it sounds like valve tap........

I use royal purple in my car, d16z6, purrs like a kitten.

 

yea i was talkn about the vid too. just agreeing with ya.

 

word up.

 

was about to do an oil change was gonna use some Castro high mileage. green bottle would that be good?

oh and when u say valve tap.... whats the valve tapping against?
