Engine Noise At High Speed - Yaris Gs 1999 998Cc

[Jayrelli]

Hi there,

I recently bought a second hand Yaris GS with only 36k on the clock. So far it's been really great, fantastic little runner and fun to drive (and I regularly get 50-60mpg!).

The only negative so far is the engine noise once I go over about 62-64mph. Up until that point it's ok, but after that it begins to sound a little like a blender (even though its only doing about 3200 revs)! I suspect this is a normal thing but just wanted to see

If anyone else has had the same issue?

The amount of noise it makes has made me think twice about motorway driving in it...

Thanks

Jay

I had a GS and it was noticeably noisier than my husband's CDX. The fuel injectors were audible at about 50mph as a high pitched whine. Any grating noises are bad though.

My partners 2002 1.0 Yaris also has high engine noise at speeds above 60 mph. So for long motorway journeys it can be quite annoying.
