nismothunder Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Okay so I have a 95 'finder with the v-6 and automatic.I had the water pump,t-belt and cam seals replaced about 10,000 miles ago and now its makeing noise.Its coming from the front of the engine. At first I thought it was my tranny going out since it gets louder as the RPMs go higher.The noise by the way is a higher pitch whine that is anoying and makes the truck sound like crap. Also I sprayed the belts with belt dressing and it stoped for about 3 seconds. So now I'm thinking its a belt.Then I checked my power steering fluid level and it was a little low.I filled it up and nothing changed.Also I already new that it wasnt the problem since it didnt get louder when I turned the wheel. So then I loosened the power steering belt then it got louder.Could it be the belt or maybe a bearing as wheel? Any help is nice, Thanks.

adamzan Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I would remove belts one by one and see if the noise stops. Hopefully it is a belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Use the metal rod stethiscope trick to try to pinpoint noisy pumps, pulleys, bearings, etc first. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallybob Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Mine used to make a whining noise as well. I just replaced all my belts on my '92, and I found when I took it all apart that the outermost tensioner pulley bearing was shot. Replaced that and my whining went away, FWIW.

nismothunder Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) It was the A/c belt.It was all worn out and cracking witch was cause the noise.The ass whi replaced the t-belt,waterpump and cam seals never replaced them even though he said he did.Screwed again Edited March 8, 2009 by nismothunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
