robcxr6t Member 4 Member For: 11y 3m 13d Posted 03/11/13 08:48 PM Share Posted 03/11/13 08:48 PM I just bought an 04 xr6t auto and driving it normal this morning as in no hard launches or anything, when I would take my foot off the accelerator there was a noticeable whining noise coming from the engine which I havnt heard in the last 3 days of owning it... is this normal?

Under load or permanently ? Could be a pulley, bearing.. Listen under bonnet while idling, see if you can locate it .

I was thinking is that just the turbo wanting to go coz its sitting at higher revs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was more picking on the way it boosts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
