Mechanic Hiss/whining Lifting Off Accelerator

Question

HI All,

 

Just wondering if you can help. I have a 1.4 Petrol Delta and a high pitch mechanical hissing sound like a whine can be heard when lifting off the accelerator. It happens consistently regardless of driving along or being stationary or out of gear.

 

Searching around online it could be the alterator and the drive belt. Just wondered if anyone else has encountered this?

 

Cheers,

 

Jos

Hi Jos - you will hear a whoosh from the wastegate if its a 1.4 MA although not when stationary. I'd be very careful about driving it if its the belts catching on something althought you would hear that constantly and not just on lift-off. Whereabouts in the engine bay is it coming from - can you tell?

Thanks guys. I will take a look tonight and see if I can pinpoint where in the engine bay its coming from. Its definitely louder from the passenger side window.

 

Yes I noticed the whooshing from the westgate being a little louder these days and its quite nice.

 

I am due to get the cambelt and waterpump changed soon so I will my mech to do check if I cannot determine the cause before then. No notice in power loss but I will report back with my findings should it help others.
