VERY LOUD Whine when its cold
I have asked this question before, but never got a clear answer. This is the first winter/fall i have had my z, and this is new to me. Heres what happens...
I start it up, let it sit some, (btw the longer I wait for it to warm up the less it whines...) then when i start driving, through the gears it whines and when I really get on it, it whines even more. Is this something the z does when its warming up? It doesnt do it when in neutral btw. Also, its a 2006 MT revup |
Here is a hint: do not troubleshoot a car UNTIL it have reached operating temperature. Cars do strange things when they are cold.
|
You can try tightening the serpentine belt. The belt gets tighter as it heats up which is why I think the sound gets better after it reaches normal operating temp.
You may just need to just go ahead and replace it, if it's in bad shape. |
the serpentine belt? how hard is that to replace? its not like a loud squeek noise noise though its a whine...so idk. I really have no idea, has anyone else had this problem?
|
It's normal. Don't replace anything. It's always a good idea to let a car warm up before you drive in very cold weather anyway.
I whine when it's cold too! :rolleyes: |
^^^^ ok good, thanks for the info!
|
It doesn't whine while in neutral then it has to be the tranny. I had the same exact problem when it reached like 34 degrees in FL. I dont mean to scare you but that same week I heard the whine my tranny blew

Shifting into gears not a problem I assume?
If not then your good. Even with my new tranny I still hear a little whine. Just let it warm up |
yea i mean its harder to downshift when its cold, but i assume that is normal. Its nothing i havent experienced with other cars, just a loud whine when its cold...i guess just letting it warm up is the fix.
|
you running a blower? :icon8:
|
|
Mine does the same thing, especially if I get on it in 3rd gear. I was thinking it was the diff, not sure.
|
hmmmm, im gonna take it to the dealer tomorrow
|
just take it and get the belts replaced...it won't hurt anything....
|
Mine did that. It was because steering fluid was low. Have you checked?
|
My 06 does the same
My 06 has done that since new, does not seem to be aproblem
