My 2001 Lexus Wines At 60 To 70 Miles An Hour.

[davidlee]

anyone have any idea what the wineing on my is 200 could be, it seems to start making noise at about 60 2 70 mph?

[aido]

Where is the noise coming from? The gearbox? The engine?

[davidlee]

[ sound like more the box, but saying that when i take it up to that speed and take the car out of gear the noise stays

[aido]

Does it make this noise at 60 - 70 at any speed or is it purely when you are holding a certain rev range? Is the noise present at that speed in third, fourth, fifth and sixth gears?

Is the AC on or off?

What milage is on the car, and is it regularly maintained?

[davidlee]

its got about 4200 on the clock, well mantained, i have not tried turning the ac off i normaly have it on auto. and it makes the noise in any gear at that speed. im very worried about it being the box mate!

[aido]

Sounds like you've got a pretty new vehicle there then, they aren't even starting to wear in til 10k+

May be worth trying with AC off just to rule the pump out?

Seeing as it's such low milage any problems you're getting like this should be covered by the dealer warranty - have you taken it to them yet mate?

[davidlee]

im not sure if it has, i have had it 4 weeks and paid 8k for it, ill have to have a look at the paper work, so you dont think that its the box?

First I'd advise checking your warranty cover, best to get it checked out properly before something pops :shutit:

Trust me I'm a mechanic

Low mileage so should be something simple - I hope

Dealership ASAP for you mate :D

[davidlee]

thanks mate ill do that

[LowRed]

Yep its worth getting the car checked asap or the fault you have now can get worse and affect other components.

Good luck - Let me know what the fault is and what they done.

It will improve my superior Grease Monkey knowledge

Cheers mate :D

I'd probably advise you get a HPi check done ...... if you didn't already do so ?

£8K for a car with only 4,200 ???? ............ Don't sound right to me ............

4200 miles? :o I missread and thought it was 42000miles!! I agree with ScarFace - milage is WAY too low. Just get a HPI check done for peice of mind. :)

[SHAHZ]

going by the price of the car i think he meant 42000 miles

[Jolliffee]

I get a noise to at that speed and it gets louder the faster I go; not so easy to fix but it goes away when the wife stays at home...

Good luck with the problem.

Does the noise change if you are in a lower gear at the same speed?

Does it change in pitch when you take your foot off the loud pedal?

Does it change when you put it into neutral at the same speed
