Rep Power: 235 Strange Noise
Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me, my car starting making this hissing sound when idling, i was working on it one day and it was running had the hood open, and notice a hissing sound noise coming from the left side around the belt area.
low noise, sounds like a steam train taking off. Weird can't explain it better.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

does it sound like a hissing sound or a sucking sound, they sound completely different. if you said it sounds like a belt but you know its not. that leaves only two things, either a lubricant or air leak. youd notice if it was a lube leak quite easily so its obviously air.
also, do you have any mods? everything makes a difference. my engine has a constant low sucking tone and its because of my intake. its a deep whoooo sucking sound. do you have an intake? if you do, its perfectly normal.

No i do not have any mods. Its sounds like a hissing sound as the belt turns when it idles.
can't seem to pin point it.
