Car Whistle Noise

[shau]

hi there

ive owned a car for less than a year now so i take myself as a bit new.My problem is that when i start up my car i get a whistle noise for a few seconds and then it stops im sure you guys know what i mean or have heard it before because i heard it before in other cars,ive only got this recently and it is becoming more frequent,any ideas to what is causing this?Or how to fix this?

thx

sqeeky fan belt maybe?

[Leeky]

Induction kit? Is it kinda a sucking noise?

[Jamesb4uk]

Tell it to whistle a decent tune!!!!!!!!

I'll put money on it being a loose belt somewhere - more thatn likely the fan belt.

auxilary drive belt. check its condition. if it looks ok, try nipping it up a bit. if it looks knackered get a new one.

could also be that the startes going out, that happened on my old chevy a couple years back

maybe a leaking vacum hose?

(this normally only does it while moving)

Ah yes, i had a vacuum leak last week. Although I didn't realise it was whinning until I removed the amp which itself was picking up engine noise and causing a whine to be sent through the Speakers, regardless of whether the stereo was on.

I presume the noise is coming from under the bonnet in your case though.
