Hi all,

Yesterday arvo I gave the engine bay a hit with some degreaser and a bit with the pressure cleaner... Noticed some noisy belts straight after as expected but nothing else... Today I the car had a flat battery as I had left the door slightly open (it was in the garage)... so I jump started it, and instantly notice this weird whining noise that increases with engine revs.

Took it for a spin round the block, but still stays. Car drives fine, except for the noise.


Here's a quick phone vid:



Any ideas?

I'm thinking a bearing or something, but it seems like a weird coincidence....

does it make the noise louder when u move the steering wheel?

Nope, doesn't seem like power steering

Can't hear anything with that sound quality. Spray some belt-grip on the belts, it may have squealed previously & you may have removed what was there before.

i would say then either alternator bearing or a/c idler bearing

Sounds like pacman

Took it round the old man's place, turned out to be the alternator AND air con bearings...

If anyone has an alternator to suit 99/00 that they will let go for $50, PM me...

Hopefully gonna be able to rebuild them with new bearings

If you are rebuilding yours, I might have one here you can borrow while yours is being fixed if that helps you out??

Cheers for the offer Corrie, but I am using my brother's, as his car is not yet back on the road haha
