Thread: Growling!! HELP PLEASE

Aha!! The noisey ACE system??

Exhaust?

May not be from the rear of the engine,may be from the power steering,growls are fairly common from that area.I`ve had growls on and off for years but never any issues for thousands of Ks.

Trev.

Engine mounts ?

Hi, All

Still there, seems at the rear of the engine/gearbox and consistent with the engine’s revs. More of a whine than a growl. Gearbox functions as it should, and the engine seems smooth as.

As Billy T James would say, I'm Pukka Te Whaino!!!

Any wisdom or options to look at would be appreciated.

Thanks re the exhaust - but has recently had new cat converters and does not at all sound like exhaust.

Engine fits tight under revs and so not seem like engine mounts. However, how would that cause?? Keen to hear of any experiences - or other possible options.

Regards

Is the noise constant or every 21 seconds? My ACE bleeds pressure every 21sec with about a half second growling sound. The sound is hard to pin down as it's from the block under the drivers footwell.

Note timing results may vary by individual discovery.

Thanks heaps - well other comment I have had is that it sounds like the ACE. But not a few seconds at a time - like, it's a whine over time.

Just annoying, as the gearbox and engine itself seem sweet as a nut! But the whine is such a nuisace, that I can't really enjoy the throbbing sound of the fabulous V8!!

I recall in the Series 1's that I have had, I used to have the windows down just to hear the exhaust note!! But this Series II .... the noise is the bloody whine!!

SLS?
Perhaps the compressor's on the way out.
