Thread: Wining noise from td5

you might be onto something there. cause the sound is coming from around there..

would it still make the noise if the air con is off?? if this is the problem, how do i go about it?

I believe it is quite common, and yes the bearing will still spin without the Air con being on
I read a post on here earlier this week about changing the bearing, will have a look for it

Does anyone else's noise also follow them inside?😱

A whining or whirring noise from the front of the engine will most likely be a pulley bearing failure or something that the belt runs on. You can remove the belt and feel if the bearings are rough or try and pinpoint by using garden hose or a metal rod to your ear and putting the other end in the vicinity of the components. Hope this helps.

with a cold motor remove the belt and start it up. you have a bout 1 minute of unloaded run time before you need to worry about the temps and coolant flow

If its around the front of the engine,could be belt idler pulley or tensioner.

If you can remove the belt that will isolate that.

Trev.

thanks to all...
i will be going for the belt and checking whatever runs off it, the first chance i get to get my hands dirty
