Strange noise
 

Guys, what could that be??
It takes around 10-15min for the sound to appear when engine/bay gets up to temp. It is on the driver side and I think more bottom part.
Really hard to tell coz the sound is really high pitch which is what you can't hear in the video as much.

Thank you in advance +++

file attached.

All I can see there is alternator.
It can't be fan as the noise goes away when I rev it ?!?!

Sounds like it could be belt squealing or altenator bearing.

I haven't listened to your video, but have you checked the PAS fluid level. The reservoir is buried and consequently often gets missed in servicing.

If it was Dezzy's car then I would suggest that you remove the pig from the car and instead use a trailer to take it to the abattoir. :)

:eek: trailer? if it has clean trotters whats the problem

Does the D3 have a viscous fan? The coincidence with achieving running temperature and the action of the clutch mechanism on such fans might be something to investigate.
For Dezzy: A friend of mine tried to take his pig to the abattoir in the back of a Clio. Lets say that the journey didnt end well for anyof them - including the car.

I'm sticking with belt at the moment, just needs a slight tighten up. Easy fix

David. I'm not supprised the pig was protesting, a Clio! :ROFL: I would have rather have ridden the pig, athough getting home might be an issue.

I had a similar sound that disappeared when revved. This was on an A4 and it was the water pump. Have you a mechanic's stethoscope?

Long shaft screwdiver will do if not
