[s-cars] engine trouble HELP

[Vincent Frégeac]

I would check also the engine/tranny mount. No BTDT on the urS but my 90Q20V
had enough play that when I let the gas pedal go, the main shaft would rub
on the exhaust due to the engine movement. If the mounts are shot, I would
check any rotating part in front of the engine looking for sign of rubbing.

Objet : Re: [s-cars] engine trouble HELP

Elijah,

It sounds like my noise may have a different origin than yours.  My car
sounds perfect at idle, and the noise is only there when car is in gear, and
I have let off the gas pedal.  The noise is gone if I press the clutch, and
it is gone when coasting in neutral.  

At first, I though it may be a clutch or transmission component (throw-out
bearing, pressure plate, pilot bearing), but I don't have an extensive
knowledge of those parts, and a friend of mine heard the noise and does not
think it is those.  

Any BTDTs or good guesses are greatly appreciated!

-Keith

>Keith, Yes and no, at first the noise would only happen on startup in the
morning. As it got worse it would happen more at idle and when driving would
go away. Sounds like you may have the same problem. You should be able to
stand at the front of the car with the hood open and be able to tell at
least if its coming from the front of the car. The ac compressor can also
make similar noise. Elijah

>Elijah,I have been having a similar noise in my '95.5 S6 over past two
weeks, as well!  My noise is intermittent, in that I only hear the squealing
noise when I have my foot off the gas pedal.  As soon as I BARELY touch the
gas, the noise is gone.  At first I was worried this was a transmission
noise, but that may not be the case.  Did you notice that you had the same
relationship with the gas pedal and the noise?  Thanks,Keith
Bedard-----------------------------------------Ok, I took the serpentine
belt off and it looks like the wheel/pully that the fan hooks to is the
culprit. If I remember right this is attached to a bracket that has to be
replaced at the same time. Where can I buy these parts fast? Thanks,Elijah

Re: [s-cars] engine trouble HELPWell, I think you'll have to pull the main
serpentine belt off and see what's locked up. I would guess the AC
compressor is locked up, but you'll know for sure when you pull the belt
off. On Feb 24, 2007, at 10:54 AM, elijahallen92 at aol.com wrote: > Hey
