Hey, I am looking to by a GTU. I have driven 4 by now. And one of the cars has a winding noise above 3500. But it cut off when i let off the gas. He said he had a new clutch installed but it doesnt sound like clutch problem. One of my friend said it might be a air hose. but wouldn't that make a hissing nosie. What do you guys think? Does it sound like that big of a problem?

Thank you,
Zach

 

where does the sound seem to come from?

with that info you can start to eliminate the issue

 

Sorry, the sound seems to come from the engine. Seems to stay constant with the engine after 3500. At first i thought it was cool, and dismisted it mabe as just a wankle sound. Maybe it is? If you have any other question just ask if you think it would help to isolate the problem. But i think i might just have a shop check it out.

 

maybe a belt slipping or the fan clutch going. look at the pulleyes and berings those tend to get squeeky. fave a freind rev the engine while you listen for exactly where the noise comef from under the hood.

 

I had to replace both pulleys some time back for the same problem. Initially whinned at higher RPMs then all the time. New pulleys.. no noise.
