Strange Whine!? - Toms306 - 29-05-2014
Evening,
So, obviously you can see it's not a 306, same 2.0 HDi90 RHY engine though.
Wtf is this whine? It drives fine (on a private road lol as it has no MOT/tax atm) but makes a hell of a whine...sounds like a supercharger tbh lol.

I'm arguing with myself over what it is...
Turbo? But it boosts well and doesn't smoke at all.
Alternator? But it slows with the engine, whereas the whine 'hangs' for a bit.
PAS pump? Same as alternator, it should slow quickly.
AC pump when free-spinning? Don't think so as I turn the AC on half way through the vid and it makes no difference.
Car has done 85k miles, but been sitting for months due to a starting fault (which I have now diagnosed, thanks Cully
) So what do you reckon the whine is?

Check for a woman in the engine bay, they make a rev related whine...
RE: Strange Whine!? - Toms306 - 29-05-2014
A woman? What would one of those look like?
RE: Strange Whine!? - Toms306 - 30-05-2014
No-one any idea??
Only idea I've had from the 206 forum is crank pulley but that cant whine surely? Just knocks afaik?
RE: Strange Whine!? - mr_fish - 30-05-2014
idler pulleys gone dry for the aux setup? sounds similar to what I had on my hdi
RE: Strange Whine!? - Toms306 - 30-05-2014
Did that hang after the revs had dropped though? I can't see how anything aux related wouldn't slow immediately as the revs drop off?
RE: Strange Whine!? - mr_fish - 30-05-2014
Listening to it again, does seem strange that it does that.
May have to pop the aux belt off and just have a feel/spin of the pulleys/pas/alternator and see if you can tell if one component isn't quite right.
RE: Strange Whine!? - Toms306 - 30-05-2014
Yeah, that's the next thing to try I think.

Is it that a dturbo 206 would you be interested in selling?
RE: Strange Whine!? - Jonny81191 - 31-05-2014
Drop the aux belt off and see if it stops. Failing that, leave it until it causes an issue?

It's a GLX... So gets more spec than the dturbo lol.

Yes removing the aux belt is the next thing to do, been slightly side tracked by the stupid drum brakes on it.
Access is even worse than the 306 for getting at the belt though lol, not only is it tight, they've also put the ECU loom and some coolant pipes right where you need the spanner on the sprung adjuster!
RE: Strange Whine!? - Toms306 - 31-05-2014
Turns out its easier to get at the sprung tensioner from underneath.
Found out it's the alternator making the noise, it appears to have some sort of one way clutch so it only spins one way, allowing it to slow down much slower than the engine itself. Now not sure if its a fault or if its just normal alternator noise that would usually be covered by engine noise!

Yeah, was just about to suggest that..
Quite common now, it's to stop the belt flapping - as it's the magnets going past the windings that effectively make it shake since it's a 6 pole - you get 6 shakes per rotation, so essentially it decouples it and allows free play.
RE: Strange Whine!? - Toms306 - 31-05-2014
Ah, makes sense, good idea really. Would you say the noise is normal for one then?
RE: Strange Whine!? - Ruan - 31-05-2014
No, that sounds excessively loud.
My V50 has one, doesn't make that racket - sounds like the bearings shagged in it.

That's how they're put together if anyone's interested.
RE: Strange Whine!? - Toms306 - 01-06-2014
Oh right, fair enough. The 206 isn't turning out to be the bargain I expected lol.
RE: Strange Whine!? - Eeyore - 01-06-2014
Must be the straight cut gears
RE: Strange Whine!? - Hec1872 - 05-07-2014
Prob the pulley, mine was a bit noisy but replaced it and the aux belt
RE: Strange Whine!? - ConorTRG - 05-07-2014
New pulleys arent to dear, but you need a special kit to take them of.
RE: Strange Whine!? - Piggy - 05-07-2014
Some of the late HDi's had those fancy alternators... Very different whine to usual.
RE: Strange Whine!? - Toms306 - 05-07-2014
Bit of a thread revival, I don't even own the car anymore.
RE: Strange Whine!? - WiNgNuTz - 05-07-2014
Yeah, i know....new user making their way to 20 posts.

Oh i don't know, Fooby has been around an awful lot the last couple of days....kinda unnerving actually! Was beginning to wonder if he'd lost his job or something!
