Technical Whistling noise from engine

[CLXCraig]

Right, on the way to work this morning, i had to listen to all the odd noises of the enigne. I noticed a kind of whislting noise.. It only does it when i accelerate, so i can only think that it's something to do with the injector or inlet manifold.

I've had the injector off previously, when i had the fuel leak, and there were no gaskets, none that we could see anyway. is it possible that if there was one, its split and is drawing the air in from there causing the noise?

It could just be something as the airbox on wonky with a slight gap... I'll be investigating tonight.

Could be worse I suppose: theme to Neighbours maybe!!

Chocks away, Luke.

Wait for the clunking noises... eastenders tune. Id possible cut my ears off

 

[Luke P]

Don't mention clunking noises, there were a few of them just before my wheel vaulted a wall and escaped off into a field!!

bigger stereo, more speakers, drown out the noises, no need to fix anything

Sorted it.. dunno what was wrong but took air box off, quick clean to filter, replaced and now its less one more funny noise

You let the hamster with the megaphone excape from the air box then.

How did he get hold of that megaphone again??????...

 

[Luke P]

I thought we'd agreed that starving them was the best way to deal with overly vocal rodents!!

But seriously; I hate it when I fix something and I don't know what I've done... I always feel that I haven't learned what to do should the same problem crop up again....

Glad to hear that the problem's resolved though Craig.
