Got a very faint whine when the car is ticking over and gets a little bit louder when you rev the car but seems to go away over 2k revs any ideas? Its a 1.8ts just in case you ask

Are you 'handy' Chris?

If so it may be worth temporarily removing the aux belt to try & eliminate where it's coming from

 

[Guest]

I am not handy no mate but could be that even though was changed a year or so ago

mine whines, all the ts's i know whine a little, my aux belt and tensioners were done about 3 months ago. do you notice it come back at high revs around 6k?

just a nature of the engine i believe.

Im not sure mate but its not the way my engine sounds normally so just worried in case something is on its way out. Im gonna get it checked with a bit of luck 2moro

yeah good idea. mines always had a little whine, and its still there after the belt and tensioner changes, but if its wasnt there before, get it checked good luck:thumbs:

Going to see my trusty mechanic Mark 2moro morning so he can hopefully tell me its nothing

Sounds like a case of worn alternator bearings im afraid. my 1.8 ts was just the same. will not cause damage to engine but will need sorting out eventually!!!

I have had my car a few months and it has a whine , the Alternator was changed 1K ago, still whines.

I have had lots of Fiat group cars over the years and a whine was always a sign of the Water pump being on the way out.

My 1.8TS has just started whining when its cold but only for the first few seconds. I figured that the water pump was starting to go.

No proof though!

Cant imagine it to be the water pump as its not even 2 years old

I think its aux belt related

 

[Guest]

ooh thats not good, surly they would have seen that when changing the belts, or did you only get the aux belt done?
