Engine Noise.

Post by getonit »

Hi gang.
My 95 FTO Mivec has developed a noise i cannot seem to nail down and hoping someone may have experienced the same.
It is only when engine is cold and lasts until operating temp is reached and only whilst in motion.
Coming from the right side it sounds much like a bird call of all things. It last a few seconds several times.
Is not dependant on revs. Fair dinkum sounds like a magpie on the piss.
Car is running great otherwise apart from the fantastic cam seal leaks.

Spot on!
Recently changed the alternator tensioner pulley and did not give it another thought. Nipped it up a little tighter and revel in a simple facepalm moment.
