Stupid question...but maybe NOT!.....from 20 to 55 miles an hour my car sounds like it's whistling....when you rev it up..you can hear the whistle....does this sound like my belts need belt dressing?

Do you have a turbo? If so, that whistle is normal. It's the turbo spooling up. If not, make sure that your windows are cranked all the way up, you might have an air leak... Now, that would be for a "whistle". A "squeal" would be more along the lines of belts, but that usually happens at lower speeds.

NO turbo!!
Where should I look for the air leak?

Pinfield357

top of windows or where ever the sound seems to be coming from

dlbrown

the whistling noise is coming fromunder the hood (engine), however, it stops when I go over 55 miles an hour!

Pinfield357

it stops or you just cant hear it nemore? if wind hits just about nething right it will whistle... is it a whislte or a squeel?

dlbrown

Whistle....but I think it's either my first or second converter....or both could be clogged...the sound only happens when I hit the accelerator!

Pinfield357

i duno maybe its a really quite belt squel

dlbrown

nope...I lubbed them

Pinfield357

you lubbed them? i hope not... do you mean you put belt dressing on them? and is the hood closed all the way? all the weather striping in place?

dlbrown

that's what I meant!.....yeah.....you can hear the whistling noise when I rev the car up high.

Do you have a turbo hood by any chance? I know someone who had an N/A with a TII hood and it will whistle. That is before he threw a TII engine in it!

dlbrown
