Touareg :: Slight Whining Upon Acceleration
Speed doesn't' seem to be a factor. When I am coasting and then step on the throttle I hear a faint whine coming from the drive shaft or the right rear end. Faint and only upon acceleration. Is this common? Along with all the other "noises" upon start up.
View 1 RepliesFord Excursion :: Whining Noise Coming From Underneath?
I've been hearing this whining noise for a while now and sounds like it is coming from underneath the truck somewhere. Sounds more like a power steering pump whining when turning too far on my old chevy!
It is loudest when first starting and is quite loud at times. Sound varies in pitch. I have crawled around under the truck a couple of times and could not tell where it was coming from. The resonance seems to throw the sound around. Once I start to drive, it tones down where it is not noticeable.
This past weekend, I decided to top off fuel before I changed state lines and had to pay more. was about 1/2 tank. Topped off and surprised it only took about 7 gallons. Usually it is about 10 gallons per 1/4 on the fuel guage, so I was expecting near 20 gallons.
Got back in truck and fuel gauge was just under 3/4 tank reading! I had the neck full as I didn't think 7 gallons was right, so I was suspecting the gas station pump was not working right but it was full in the neck for sure.
So, now....thinking that this whining noise is the fuel pump........ How difficult will it be if it is the fuel pump? I have about 144K miles now.
Ford Excursion :: 2003 - Power Steering Is Whining?
So I replaced my steering gear box 10k miles ago and now my power steering is whining like a dying cat... I fill the fluid up and a week later it's back at it whining again... I was looking at the psc motorsports steering assist kit... you send them your gear and they rebuild and modify it to a hydronic ram assist setup. Should I just go with a redhead gear? Any other setup to cure our steering woes?I have an 2003 7.3 excursion....

I have had 2 cars with exactly the same problem. The first was a 1998 Volovo V70XC. And the second is my current 2003 BMW 325Xi - both AWD. When driving say on a freeway at 60 mph and you touch the accelerator to apply power, you get a whining or slight howling sound. As soon as you lift, the sound disappears, but each time you touch the pedal, the sound reappears. It seems to be coming from the driveline toward the mid to rear of the car. As you accelerate to 65-70 or decelerate to 55-50, the phenomenon disappears. What is causing this and how can it be fixed?
View 6 RepliesFord Excursion :: 2000 - Whining Noise While Driving And Turning?
I have a 2000 4x4 Lim Excursion V10 and have started noticing a whining noise when acceleration from a stopped position. I cannot hear it at higher speeds maybe because of my exhaust . I also tried revving the engine in park and could not seem to hear the noise which leads me to believe it's not the engine per say. It is clearly from the front. I have heard the noise also coming from when I am turning from a dead stop so I think the steering pump is going out. But when I am driving straight it also makes a whining noise without turning too I have no clue what it could be I just change my belt about a month ago to a 45.00 Gates Belt from O'Reilly, so it can't be that. sounds like a old foreign car backing up its like urururururur but not that loud LOL... from a stop light then goes away around 25mph or so!!

View 7 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Whining / Slight Squeaking Noise Coming From Drive Belt
I have a 2006 sonata gls 3.3l v6. There is a whining/slight squeaking noise coming from the drive belt when i turn the car on. When the noise started it would only occur when turning with the AC or Heat on. It then escalated to whenever i started the car and would go away after driving for a while. Now the noise continues even after a drive sometimes..
I've been told by a mechanic friend that the belt looks ok. So my plan is to take the passenger side tire off and the splash guard on that side to get at the tensioner for the belt. Once I have the belt off i plan on turning the various pulleys that the serpentine belt goes on to see if i can figure out which one is making the noise. How to pinpoint where the noise is coming from?
Here's a link to a youtube video I put up with the noise my car is making ............ YouTube
Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Whining Noise In 1st Gear
I've been noticing more and more lately that while my trucks in 1st or maybe 2nd gear, say, slowly coasting around a parking lot for example, there's a whining noise coming from either the rearend or the tranny (cant tell which). It gets louder and more high pitched as I move faster then disappears as soon as the truck shifts gears..
Is this something serious like my transmission on its way out? From what I gather a lot of people seem to have a similar thing going on.. From what I can remember my truck has done this since I bought it, but lately (and maybe its just me) I seem to notice it more like maybe its getting louder..
Ford Excursion :: Slight Vibration Above 50 Mph
I have had a minor vibration above 50 or so mph(by speedometer). Installed a new driveshaft and corrected the pinion angle to near perfect. I have OEM 4.30 gears and 33.4" tall tires. I had to retune motor/PCM and one of the options while installing the new tune was tire revs per mile.
I input 620 and pressed on. Now my slight vibration is gone. Even at a corrected 70 mph it's smooth. I'm a little baffled, as I do not understand how a tire diameter correction in the PCM could affect the drivetrain?
Ford Excursion :: Transmission Making A Whining Noise - Torque Converter Or Pump
I recently bought a 2001 x w 145,000 miles. The transmission was making a whining noise when i bought it but it still shifted smooth and ran great. The truck has been serviced by the local Ford dealer its entire life with dozens of routine maintenance performed. With 145,000 miles should I wait for the converter to go out and just install a new transmission. It only gets drove on the weekends to go to the lake.

Yesterday was one of the first days I ran my AC this year...stopped at the mail box and as I walked by the front of the truck I could hear a ticking sound...got to the driveway and tried the AC in Max, Regular, Fan, and Off...in Max and Regular, a ticking sound (compressor?)...in just Fan and Off nothing. I'm guessing the compressor may be on it's way out...
2000 V10 Limted 4X4 if it matters.
Ford Excursion :: Slight Leak Just At The Axle By The U-Joints
Our axle seal went out 2500 Miles ago. Its a light leak and just wets the axle by the U-Joints. Also our 4x4 hubs don't kick into action when they should. I have to put them in Lock to get them to work. That may be why the axle seal went out, because I just leave it in lock then drive thousands of highway miles. (I don't do that anymore now that I know what I was doing) Maybe the vacuum isn't working. Could they have anything to do with each other? I don't think they do. I'm not sure how the vacuum works. Maybe I just need to service the Hub? I watched a video on it that made it seem like cake. New hubs crazy expensive!

I have a 03 ex with a V10. Just recently my trans has started giving me problems. Sometimes when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd I get what feels like a slight slip. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all. Feels almost like it is downshifting for a second. It also doesn't seem to make any difference whether I am hard on the gas or not.
View 4 RepliesFord Excursion :: 2001 V10 - Slight Miss When Cold / No Codes
I have a 2001 Excursion with the V-10. Two weeks ago, the upper nipple on the radiator cracked and I overheated. Was towed home and replaced the radiator with a quality aftermarket one. I then drove to the whiz wash and cleaned the antifreeze off of the engine.
Immediately I noticed a slight "miss" when cold, particularly when backing out of my driveway. I have no lights on the dash and it is throwing no codes. The miss gets much better (almost gone) when the truck is warmed up.
Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 1998 - Whining Sound In First Gear And Reverse That Varies According To Engine RPMs
I am looking over a 1998 Ford Ranger. Very low miles for its age (67,000) and kept in very good shape. When I took it for a drive, I noted an issue.
- there's a whining sound in first gear and reverse that varies according to the engine RPMs. I thought it might be the power steering pump, as that whined when I turned the wheel.
However, the noise went away when I shifted to the higher gears. Been a while since I drove a stick - my Bug back in 2003, IIRC.
What I might be getting into? I really like this machine, aside from that issue, and I would like to nail the problem down ASAP...
Ford Excursion :: Squealing When Turn The Wheel / Slight Tapping On Acceleration
Ok, so I just drove from Pgh, PA to San Antonio, TX..... truck ran great, and before i left i replaced the steering box, tie rod ends, shocks, added dual steering stabilizers, and did a tranny flush as well as oil change.
Here are the issues that I cant figure out, anytime i turn the wheel, there is a squealing, it is NOT the power steering, when we did all the upgrades we re-greased the ball joints and temporarily stopped the squealing. So should I just replace the ball joints, and if so, should I replace anything else while I'm doing that?
The next issue is when i drive, sometimes when I accelerate slightly it sounds like something is going wrong with the engine, like a vibration or humming, maybe a slight tapping, i cant seem to figure it out. no engine lights come on or anything, but it scares me and I need this vehicle for a while so I need to make sure i keep up on the maintenance.
Ford Excursion :: No Start With Slight Crank / Engine Jams Or Locks Up
I am having a starting problem with my Excursion. It cranks but immediately quits as if the entire engine jams or locks up. I thought it was the starter so I replaced the current one with the original starter that I happened to still have from a previous starting problem. The problem persisted. What the problem could be?
