WHINING AT 110MPH!!

[Tom92]

So basically at 110mph a loud whining fills the car, I can only describe it sounding like a recorder (Instrument), unsure if it's coming from the engine bay or through the fans or what! Slightly worrying..

 

[imprezaworks]

I can see where this is heading.

 

[mossyv6]

Flame suit on! Lol

 

[Ray Gin]

It's probably just the turbo mate, nothing to worry about.

 

[theduck]

Fatal engine fault. Only way to fix it is to drive it at 155mph.

 

[MartinR]

Standard on a trophy cup mate don't worry about.

 

[cs_dave]

It's crying out to go faster!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

This must be a troll

 

[McGherkin]

Mine doesn't whine at 110mph. It does go a little light though.

Could it be an air leak from one of your window/screen seals?

 

[Grant89]

I reckon all of the wheels are about to fall off, all at once! :rasp:

 

[Tony Hunter]

It goes at 125.

 

[Pauleds]

Use 4th and 5th gears instead of just 3rd

 

[McGherkin]

Remove your missus from the car.

 

[aucky]

Ahhh, the ole Trophy-Cup-Whine

 

[Munson]

Common fault. It's the windscreen seal.

 

[Martin.]

Common fault. It's the windscreen seal.

Or the 'air temp sensor fan' thing whatever it's called.

 

[Alex5]

Why are you driving so slowly? Your in a Clio sport mate rag it faster!

 

[Briv6]

Lol rag it to clear the whining noise

 

[Tom92]

Thanks for your kind words guys! Helpful as always hahah

 

[imprezaworks]

No worries

 

[Paprika123]

I got this occasionally in my Trophy mate, wouldn't worry about it too much.

 

[imprezaworks]

Changing into 5th helps, aparantly

 

[Cub.]

Ahhh, the ole Trophy-Cup-Whine

FLOL. Just noticed that.

SpecialSpecial Edition. For winners.

 

[Briv6]

Yeah I wouldn't take it above 109mph until you get to the bottom of it

 

[DrR]

Trophy Cup? I'm out.

 

[Lal B3N]

Try 130+, my passenger door used to sound like it was open lol.

 

[DrR]

I quite often cruise in my car at 120ish over here, it's whisper quiet tbh.

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

I don't get everyone hear being funny about the fact he said he has travelled at 110 mph, like you lot have never done that...

Could be on track for all you know.

Your car goes 110mph?

OP put some duct tape on all your door shuts and around your windscreen. See if that solves it

It won't be.

 

[banther]

I get mad wheel wobble at 100+. All adds to the excitement.

[Addicted]

It probably only happens when your Mrs is in the car right?

I know what the issue is.

 

[Martin_172]

windscreen seal ive only had one of my 172s that's done it it was at 118mph exactly, no matter what the weather lol! but I had to get to the bottom of it asap drove me nuts on the way to work every morning, I feel your pain

 

[Chip-mk1]

Our 182 did the same sort of noise at the same speed as that, went away when we changed the windscreen so must have been the seal on it I guess.

Quite distracting on track when you suddenly hear a noise that wasnt there just beforehand, and also annoying if cruising on the autobahn at that sort of speed.

 

[Gally]

I think Seb found the reason years and years ago. Windscreen seal.

 

[McGherkin]

Your car goes 110mph?

Yup. GPS.

 

[LiamR172]

Limiter in 5th?

 

[McGherkin]

Not quite, it never gets to the limiter.

Reminds me of a funny story.

Few years back a friend had a very old mini. Think it was made around '63 and a complete wreck but nonetheless it was his car, quite rare and delicate and he was very particular about it.

Anyway, one day he agreed to lend it to someone as their car was off the road. He gave them a long lecture about double de-clutching (Magic wand gearbox), not travelling above 45mph, not slamming the doors (Cable door handles), slowly round corners (Cross-plies), leaded petrol only etc..etc.

The car was returned after a week, with thanks. The guy then said "Oh, by the way, the gearbox makes a strange grinding noise at about 50mph, but it goes away when you reach 65mph.."

It was a wind up but I have never seen anyone go that particular shade of purple before and never seen anyone else run quite so fast!! Took him a week to calm down about it, too!
