What is this bloody noise!!
« on: June 25, 2016, 05:36:42 pm »
So last couple weeks been trying to find a noise i get when i start the car. Now after leaving the car for a week not started etc iv now got a new loud noise. Iv took it to my local mechanic and he seems to think its coming from the throttle body as he said its electronic and thinks it could be that going. Can anyone else help me out heres a video.

Check the fans as something could be touching them?

It could well be the motor in the fan playing up and once it's warm is goes away but come back when it's stone cold.

So would that come on straight away then as that video is me just started the car up. Would the fan motor be working or on? Also if you slowly rev the car when it makes the sound the noise gets faster.

The fan shouldn't come on at this point but it is known to happen.
Have you had a look down in the bay for anything touching?.
