  1. Hi people,
    Great topic name I know, wondered if anyone can help?
    Today on idle my car had a very distinct weeeeeee noise
    Was thinking it sounded like a pump of some sort???
    Water pump was changed last year with the belts.
    So maybe oil or fuel? Could only hear it on idle and didn't get worse as I drove back from my folks.. Car felt great, no temp or Rev problems.
    And to top things off it had gone by the time I had returned home and pulled up on my drive?
    Do I need to keep my eyes pealed for something?

  2. Hey Mike, different car, same kinda problem, i had an audi a4 which done that, thought it was a tensioner or something, turned out to be the aircon compressor, it was confirmed by turning the aircon on as the noise disappeared, expensive fix for a pump though, good luck with it...
     
  3. Thanks for the reply. air con was off. It's broke anyway has a slow leak.
