I noticed recently when I walk away from my car I hear a whirring noise as if a fan or belt were slowly winding down. It does stop eventually but I'm wondering if something was torqued or moved out of place to cause this noise, that I don't remember hearing before.
View 11 RepliesI have an 1990 Toyota 4Runner. V6 engine. Automatic. 4wd. Today it blew an upper radiator hose. A few seconds after the initial pop of the hose and the spew of fluids the vehicle died. I replaced the upper radiator hose and the lower hose- and refilled the antifreeze. There are no leaks as of right now.
The engine will not start. The belts spin whenever the key is turned on. But the engine will not crank. You can hear the starter trying to start it up. Jumping the vehicle was of no luck. Charging the battery was of no dice.
The vehicle makes a whirring noise (belts spinning) when key is turned, but the engine does not crank at all. The noise stops as soon as you shut the key off. The oil is clean and full still.
High pitched whirring noise when the climate control fan (compressor?) is running at low speeds. It doesn't seem to matter if the air is on or not. I'd like to know what it cost to fix and if it is covered under most extended warranties.
View 4 RepliesI just noticed after I turn the car off the noise that is usually a hum is now a very high pitched noise, until that motor turns off.
View 1 RepliesI turned off the engine and I get a whirring sound, quite loud, that seems to be coming from the top of the engine around where the injectors are.
View 51 RepliesI've got a 2005 Volvo V50. High Mileage (230000). Timing belt replaced at 200k. Runs really nice, until this evening. Inserted the key and turned over but instead of starting it made whirring robot noises and read "brake failure message" and "immobilizar" after turning key to off position. It's really cold out. 0 degrees. What's the next move?
View 2 RepliesMy wife's 06 T-reg has started experiencing a squealing/whirring sound from underneath. The sound appears to be coming from underneath the back seat. It starts at appx 20MPH and continues as we drive. The sound doesn't get louder, it just continues.
Tonight when we got home, we also noticed a smell of something. Possibly a clutch-type smell. Am I looking at a transfer case going bad?
I've noticed over the past two mornings while driving to my office a sort of whirring sound for lack of a better word. It has only happened in the mornings. It has been low to mid-50s temp. The sound seems to be coming from the left side of the engine bay or inside the dashboard. Basically like a fan sound but this happens even without my HVAC activated. It doesn't seem like a big deal but the reason I mention this is because it's the first time I've even experienced this since buying my Touareg last year.
Interestingly, after shutting the engine off and restarting, the sound goes away. This particular sound is definitely noticeable, even with my stereo on.
Our V6 just turned 40k and it's developed some interesting sounds. First of all, from time to time at highway speed a whirring/whinning sound has developed. I was driving down the road the other night, no rain, about 60 degrees temp outside, and between 50 and 80 mph this noise seemed constant. I turned off the radio, turned off the climate control and the problem still existed.
It *sounds* like a drive train noise (my old jeep would make a sound when it was in a low gear that is similar). Second, also intermittent, a clicking relay from inside the dash on the drivers side. The frequency and rate are inconsistent and I can't correlate it to anything happening while driving.. just highway driving.
2011, GTI MKVI, 36000 Miles. A whirring noise began to occur at about 33,000. I took it into a dealership. They concluded that it was tire noise. So I lived with it for a little while, then replaced all 4 tires with Nitto Motivo (so not an overly aggressive tread). Got the car out on the highway and I'm getting the same noise. Took it in to another dealership, they thought tire noise, but I had informed them that all 4 tires were replaced two days before. Now they are scratching their heads. When I brake between the speeds that the noise occurs I get a slight vibration in the brake pedal. You can feel it in the floor boards, but not in the steering wheel. The noise is coming from the front passenger side.
Fortunately I took it in before exceeding 36k miles, so they kept the ticket open until this is solved. I have read in other threads that people have had similar problems, but they generally have gone away after replacing tires. Could it be a wheel bearing?
The whirring noise from the back of the car, like a servo motor maybe. Often happens several times after parking and shutting down engine.

View 3 RepliesEver notice that the Homelink won't work unless the car is turned on? Not very useful for putting the garage door up and down as you don't want the car running BEFORE you put the door up. I had two other cars with Homelink and both worked at all times. If VW can make the radio work all the time they could certainly do the same with the Homelink controls.

View 2 RepliesMy wife called today. After she shut off the car today (13F and 2" snow today), she "says" the car stayed on for 10-15 seconds before it went quiet. I'm assuming it was fan noise, since I don't see how the car can stay running if the key was removed. She didn't have the REST button set. What is "staying on". Haven't heard this before today.
View 3 RepliesThe other day I was driving downhill, luckily at slow speed, when the engine tuned off on my 2004 V8 Touareg. The brakes and steering were obviously in manual (not powered) and pull off on the side and turned on the engine again with no problems thereon.
View 2 RepliesGot in this afternoon and turned the key and got nothing? The Nav showed the disclaimer screen but it did not say to depress brake to start.
View 2 RepliesI had this "whirring" noise when slowing down...it only happens when the car has been driven around for awhile (20mins etc). It started about a week ago and I just ignored it. To me, it seems like the noise is only apparent when slowly down BUT that might be because I hear it at low speeds where at high speeds, its drowned out by road noise. The noise seems to be coming from the front drivers side (either under the hood or front drivers side tire).
Today, it was making the noise much louder and when pulling into work...I tried to turn and it made a grinding noise. Turning the steering wheel makes a grinding noise and I can feel the grinding feedback on the steering wheel.
Do you think it's the power steering pump that is making both the whirring sound and the grinding noise?
The car is a 2000 corolla ce 4spd auto. How much would the fix be if it's power steering? (and how long would it take)
I got a 2015 GTI Autobahn, DSG, 5 door. Took delivery in early June. Love the car, has been amazing so far. Coming from an MKV GTI, a nice bump in power. One issue I've had is that I hear a noise coming when accelerating. It's almost like a 'whirring' noise. Not sure if this is what the new EA888 sounds like. I didn't notice this from the old MKV. I don't think it's a turbo whistle...I'm not going very fast. The car is in D when it happens. anything faster than 60km/h (40mph), I don't hear the noise, just 'normal' engine noise.
Is this how just MKVII's sound? I bought the car without test driving it...so not sure if this is an expected sound?
I've had a loud annoying whirring noise on something connected to my 2009 GLS serpentine belt. Initially, Hyundai said it was the alternator... just recently they said it's the power steering pump. Some friends say it's a bearing. Your guess is as good as mine!
If I replace both the pump and alternator on my own, I'll save more money then letting Hyundai replace one. I haven't seen that many DIY changes on the pump though. I usually don't deal with parts & fluids.

2007 Accent with 86k miles. It's not very noisy but sounds a bit sick. It seems to shift fine.
I checked engine oil and the manual transaxle oil. Do I need a new clutch?
