hey guys, im hearing a non-constant whining/grinding noise coming from the engine. I opened the hood and listened but cant tell where its coming from, it sounds grinding/whining noise only there when its idling, not constant, comes back and goes away repeateldy, when i put my hand on the throttle body i can feel it vibrate, i took off my power steering belt and the noise is still there. Could it be the alternator or the water pump ? Which one is it more likely to be ? I have 8 days to fix it… Let me know asap. thanks.
6 days actually. Track day is May 14 :?
yeap… oh shit, i hope its the alternator, thats the easiest way out, or something stupid like a belt but that really doesnt sound like it but im gonna check today since the alternator’s belt is the only belt left to check runs car off the battery kills that calls friend with booster cables…
Timing chain maybe depending where the noise come from.
