when the car is idling i open up the bonnet and its making this noise like something is struggling ...like somethings rubbing against something? it sounds like its comin from the front of the motor, but i dont know, If u want cranners u can come and have a lil listen :P

and another thing, how come i can hear my rev's in my speakers, when i rev my car up, it buzz's to how much i rev the car...... ive never had that before.. very odd...

cheers guys

Timmy im free from 2-4.30 today, bring the car around if you want and ill have a listen, because ive got a noice that appears when i start the car. All it was, was the belts rubbing on the plastic surrounds which was easy to fix.

Nah mate she's still running like a dog with petrol, its the stop start short trips that i do that causes it, you would get 500-600k's if you where driving on a long highway journy. :dj:

Ive heard today that petrol will reach $1.40 per litre today also

sooo.....you just opened your bonnet....now......today??? when you could of done that before posting this thread?

mcflux · 19-04-2006, 02:27 PM

how exactly is the fan going around everywhere?

Is the fan gone as you say? Gone where?

Ditto for fanbelt.

More accurate description please?

mcflux · 19-04-2006, 02:32 PM

Hang on, I just re-read the thread title... You have an EF...

Serpentine belt gone?

As for a fan... are your thermofans dead?

EDXR6T · 19-04-2006, 02:46 PM

No joe, me and luke had a look and he thought it was the power stearing pumps.

then i took it to a mechanic today and he took a look and said it was the fan belt.

mcflux · 19-04-2006, 03:29 PM

Did he elaborate or just say "it's the fan belt"???

What exactly is wrong with it? Is it not there anymore? Is a pulley out of whack? Are there cracks in the belt?

EFs have one singular lone solo bigass serpentine belt that winds around everything.

Hey tim, did you get this all sorted out? What was the end results?

tim2x · 23-04-2006, 05:49 PM

hey cranners, well seems there was alot of things that was suggested, but it came down to ....

the actual thermo fans arent working, one of em seems like it doesnt wanna spin properly, asked a mechanic, says a few hundred to fix...

lol fix it yourself! (a few hundred = ripoff for probably less than an hour TOPS for a mechanic)

Buy a replacement set for <$200 and you're laughing. Look carefully enough and you might get some for well under $100 if you're lucky.

Just make sure you get EF/EL thermos and not AU ones, if you want to do a straight swap.
