CAR MODEL: Saab 9-3 SE 1999 turbo 154hp T5 120,000miles
Hello, i was wondering if any of you could identify this sound coming from the right side of the engine (passenger side) where the serpentine/drive belt is, so far ive changed the powersteering pump, tensioner, pulley and the drive belt itself. I have flushed the powersteering pump completley and there is no hoses/pipes that are broken, that i know of.
When i first did my diagnostics i took of the drive belt and started feeling for any play in the pulleys that i could move(everyone execpt flywheel) and the only one that seemed bad to me was the powersteering pulley with a little too much play, all the others seemed fine but thought id change the cheap ones anyway since i was already going to take apart the powersteering module.
so.. after this the sound still remains and im really getting tired of all the looks im getting while driving;D, i can describe the sound as a constant whining sound from engine start to engine stop INCREASING with RPM that will say it also increases if i use my CLUTCH or being in a lower gear when not supposed to, if i drive with high gears the sound is less, but still there, so for sure it's constant.
A/C compresser/water pump/flywheel is the onces that are left.. my oil is looking good and there is no coolant leak, A/C never worked but the pulley itself dont have any play and is spining good.
In advance ill excuse myself for my poor english, my heritage is from the country of SAABs and polar bears
Please tell me if you've had the same kind of noise so i can have some money for the rest of the month haha.
