ok, boyfriend just bought a zed, everything seems fine with it but when he started it up this morning it was whistling really loud. He took it up and down the dual carraigeway to warm it up and it seemed to stop but i was just wondering what it could be?

Not sure on the whistling .. never heard of that .. maybe they were whistling at you?

 

:-)

does it sound like when you get a blade of grass between your thumbs and whistle with it???? and does it get worse on boost ??

 

 

if so could be turbo gaskets - i had it once - really really loud - if so sorry bud its only a 50p part but you got to pull the engine

 

 

Regards,

no they werent whistling at me lol

 

It wasnt that loud but 1st it sounded as if it was a police siren or something chasing us lol but as soon as the engine warmed up it stopped and hasnt returned as yet, fingers crossed it might just of been cos it was cold

Deffo not a belt slipping kind of sound?

no def not belt slipping

thought it was a bit obvious lol

oh well boyfriend is a hiteq for nissan so he can look at it there lol

goosehonk from the recircs sound like that,no problem bur feckin anoying :rofl:

check coolant and rad cap, unlikely but its a possibility

I know exactly the sound you mean. Like a police siren as you said. The more the boost, the higher the pitch.

 

Mine did exactly this. It only did it when cold at first then started doing it more and more. The bad news is, I've just pulled my engine and took the turbos off. The exhaust side of one is full of oil and the shaft has a huge amount of side to side play in it. They're both going to Turbo Technics for a recondition tomorrow.

 

Sorry if this sounds like bad news for you.

its not bad news for me but it will be for the boyfriend cos he doing the work himself if thats what it is :rofl:

My 200 SX turbo started making that noise - recon turbo time :(

Hope yours is something else!

it didnt happen this morning so fingers crossed but he will look at it while he is at work. if it does turn out to be the turbos then he said he will buy new 1's. Lets hope its running fine in july so we can make it to the JAE!!!!

Mine whistled just like this, I used to check the rear view everytime I heard it, cause it was just like the cops LOL!, sorry but my Tubs were knackered shortly after :(

he has just rang me and said he had a look under the car and was suprised it passed its mot. he did say what needs doing but it was too much to remember so ill wait til he gets home from work and let you know then lol

 

Might need some prices for some of the work that needs doing

ok still whistling, but not as loud, and now the dreaded blue smoke is coming out :cry:

Can someone please give me prices for how much this will cost to sort out?

LOL. (not at your problem) of course. But it sounds like it could well be anything under the bonnet that spins???
