i have a ring type noise at idle when the clutch isnt in but when its pushed in it goes away. sounds like its normal from what everyone else is saying though

 

My IX did it too....it was there for some time...i dont know what i did but its gone now,,,however i also started filling less oil than before,, :S

 

+1 for the screeching, chirping sound from that area.

 

I have that noise on my 8 but its time to replace my belts n pulleys im almost at 40k

 

i learn to live with it.. lol when i drive it hard. the noise is more noticeable. to get rid of it. i have to let the car cool down over night and start it in the morning, but it comes back when i drive my car hard.

 

anyone know what it's causing this yet? mine if on all the time now. it's starting to make me mad..

 

I got it fixed... turn out to be the timing belt.
Open up the hood.. it should come from the passenger side of the engine.. where
the noise could come from any of those belt/pulleys or timing belt.

I saw the old belt that dealer pulled out... looks NEW... dealer cant tell me
what was wrong with belt (as expected, my car has only 13k), just said it
was the belt making noise.

 

mine only have 9k on the colck... damn so the timing belt is making all that noise? that sucks, i have to drive like 1 hour to a dealer that's close to me.

 

it is a pully

 

Could be... but the noise from my video is from the timing belt.

 

does it effect the car performance anyhow?

 

Nope... but just annoying... and I left my car run down on turbo timer in the
garage (which garage door open, of course) so it amplified the noise somewhat.

Of course, this only applies if you have the exact same problem/noise I have.

 

I took off my cam gear covers on my VIII and it went away. I put the cam gear cover back... still nothing... mustve been rubbing or too tight or something...

 

Exact same noise! Started at around 11k and I now have 12k...

Could it possibly be anything with the power steering pump? Friend of mine drove my car and said the steering felt much heavier or sluggish compared to his evo. Tire pressure was 35 all the way around at the time.

 

my one makes the same noise too but maybe ıt can be make from the steering wheel ıs ıt possible?
