smudgedon Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Driving home last night and could hear a really faint whine that matched the revs of the engine Couldn't hear it with the window open, only with them closed and music off coz its so quiet Either someone's installed a tiny supercharger on my car or I'm guessing something to do with gearbox or flywheel? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Gearbox. Quite usual, especially on the HR models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I've had a whining sound in my car before. The faster I went, the louder and more annoying it got. As I slowed down it would get quieter and if I came to a standstill, it would sometimes disappear altogether. But once I started off again, the whining started and if I put my foot down, it got annoyingly loud and whiney again. But once I'd dropped the other half off, it stopped 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's also annoying for me is the 4 finger sized holes that have appeared in each side of the passenger seat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudgedon Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 this is quite funny y don't you pop the bonnet and look instead of asking a forum? Lol Oh ye I forgot I could take a look under the bonnet whilst the car is moving in gear.... So is it an issue I need to take care of or is it is just a "trait" of the Zed?

gsexr Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Does it do it going along in gear and does it change if you put it in neutral and coast. Does it make a difference if you push the clutch down. Need to work out if the noise is related to being in gear or not and if its under load or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgedon Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Right I reckon its engine/flywheel related as it does it out of gear and when stationary Couldn't hear it tonight apart from once but went away quickly. Its such a faint noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsexr Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Here`s a few things to try. Next step is sit there in neutral and focus on the noise then see if it changes when you push the clutch down. Are you sure its up front. Dont rule out something like a fuel pump whine...... noise could travel through the car. Might be worth seeing if there is anything when just sitting with the ignition on and the car not running. Could also be something like an alternator or power sterring. If sitting in neutral with the car idling does the noise change as you move the steering from side to side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
