05 GT Noise

by **Ridgey83** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 9:51 pm

Hi Guys,

I have an 05 GT Sedan and I am having a problem with a noise in the frontend.

Basically there seems to be a "rubbing" noise which is only apparent at approx 3000rpm and only when the vehicle is under load i.e going up a hill or even a slight gradient. It seems as though it could be related to steering as when the wheel is turned sharply left or right the noise disappears.

I have posted a video to YouTube to demonstrate:

Any one have any ideas on what it may be??

Thanks in advance.

When was the last time you checked your power steering fluid?

Yup - I'd start by checking power steering fluid as well.

How many ks?

Power steering fluid all good, even took the belt off and noise is still there.

Anyone have any ideas?

i'm new to these and this forum but what are the chances of it being a harmonic balancer?

OK - so next - could it be a wheel bearing?

Normally a wheel bearing failure would create a whining or maybe "rubbing" noise as the road speed increases.

The wheel bearing noise will disappear as you load the opposite side of the car - i.e. noisy left wheel bearing noise will disappear when you turn left.....

Can you give this a test - wheel bearings on our cars were made of cheese.......

No whining noise and the noise is only apparent from approx 2500-3000 no matter what speed you are doing, e.g. I have heard it driving out of my driveway at very low speeds.

I have a mechanic looking at it as we speak as I had some other stuff done and he has discovered a cracked intake where it attaches to the turbo. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good aftermarket replacement?? Hope fully this may resolve the issue.

Cheers

Did you find your problem?

by **Ridgey83** » Tue Aug 27, 2013 9:59 pm

Not as yet, have a pro street racing intake coming as the stock one has cracked near where it connects to the turbo.

Sounds like a massive split in the intake.

how big is the crack/split your mechanic found?

by **Ridgey83** » Sat Sep 07, 2013 8:24 pm

Yep you got it! Put a new intake on last night (what a fun job... Not!) and the noise has gone! The intake was completely screwed where it bolts on the turbo!

Wow. Bit of a size difference. What they slug you for that?
