ok heres the run down

i went for a touge drive yesterday and scraped and sparked a bit

hit a few bumps

ok now last night i get a WHINE or some sort of belt noise on decel at low speeds around 40

it happened again this morning but this time around 30 coasting in gear to a light


anyone help please?

thanks

i see no leaks

 

BUMP i think something is seriously wrong, it comes from the front right side randomly upon decel

VIDEO COMING UP, CAN'T REALLY HEAR IT DUE TO BAD RECORDING BUT I MARKED THE TIMES YOU HEAR THE WHINE ON THE DESCRIPTION. sound also sounds like a goose bov call, also attached in video. (not my subbie someone else)

bummppppp

 

is your car automatic or stick?

How hard did you scrape?

Did you get under the car and PHYSICALLY check for damage? Scratches, gouges, dents etc.?

When you say front-right side, do you mean front driver side, or front passenger?

 

manual you can tell from the vid and front right is FRONT right passenger side.

i dunno ow hard i scrape id rather pay attention to not crashing but behind me say they saw sparks quite often.

and i don't have any jacks atm to check under the car

 

well, your vid didnt show up.. i cant watch youtube videos at work.. lol

well, get some jacks.. borrow some to get under it and check..

does the sound change with engine speed or car speed?

 

mostly only decel in gear and when i don't press the brakes around 3k and below

but it doesn't happen all the time.

no chance of borrowing tools now its newyears eve and new years soon.

argh hopefully nothing major but it must be something major to be making such a sound...

 

i mean, you may have broke an engine mount or something, and its making a rubbing sound from vibrating against the car, or something..

have you looked in your trunk for a jack? like, EVERY CAR comes with a small jack... just ask around if you can use someones.. that would help us see whats going on...

 

I'd guess it's an exhaust or heat shield rattle. You could try hitting the A-pipe and cat with a mallet and seeing if you hear something. You could also check the engine mounts and torque mounts. A visual inspection is the first place to start. Also, anything that is rpm dependent (happens always at the same engine speed) suggests an exhaust system issue.

 

i hope thats the case, sounds like a simple fix but the sound is like a goose call...

i <3 my spec 2 and i hurt her so badly
my poor spec 2

 

I couldn't find the sound on the vid. Where is it (like 2:43 or whatever)?

 

i have them listed on description, its hard to hear because of the camera phone

but if you check the subbie video i have on the description as well that is what it sounds like.

sounds horrid...

 

bump for this guy the problem sounds like some bad ****

 

bump this is bad, cant really take it to a shop nad have to pay for them to look for a sound that doesnt show up too often.

gonna waste so much gas decelling from 4k every single time

 

A couple things to try:

1) Actually look to see if anything looks bent or cracked

2) Try to get the noise to happen while you are free-revving in your driveway

If it's rpm-dependent it's likely to be a heat shield or exhaust system rattle. If you have a stock header it could have a broken piece inside. If you have a cat you could've broken a baffle -- likewise for the muffler.

Get the car on jacks, look around, and hit things with a mallet.
