Engine Whinging From Alternator/waterpulley

[cefiro]

I have a strange whinging comming form the pulley belt driving my alternator and the water pump, when I put some water on it it seems to disappear, I remember something about soapy water or along those lines. I dont know if possibly the belt is too tight, alternator on the way out, water pump on the way out..........

just needs some ideas thanks

bearing or you need to adjust your fan belt, check tenion to tight you cant even budge the belt to loose and you will be able to move it up and down.

Can you explain the whigning noise??? i have a whigning noise on mine too, its not the clutch bearing, but only comes on at a certain rev, around 1k....

Ok I will check the tension, I recon it stoo tight, as I said if I tip some water onto it then it goes away so I am thinking its the belt rather than anything else, will have a look tomorrow.

cheers

if anyone has any other suggestions than any help would be great

Is your car auto?

I get a noise from my torque converter thats like a whoo whoo whoo noise but it sounds like its coming from the turbo/water pump area.

i have an auto ....and mine wakes some weird whining noise at around 1000rpm as well.....it started after i changed my water pump, idle bearing and tensioner....i asked da mechanic watz wrong and he said it will go away afta around 3000kms of driving....but yea it is starting to worry me now cause its not going away....

yeah it comes and goes, have bought some belt spray, spoke to a mechanic he said to try it out so will have a look see how I go.

my car is a manual as well

^^ Sorry to dig up an old thread, but my whigning noise is starting to piss me off more now!!! I seem to get it around 960rpm - 1krpm...

speeds up as i speed up, then dies off as other sounds muffle it i think..

I think mine turned out to be the thrust bearing in the gearbox, as had it changed over with the clutch and now its gone.
