Re: Cold Noises (Long)
It was about -13 Celcius (8 F) last night and this morning here in Toronto, and I had the same noises. One of which is definately the fan belt, and the second being the turbo....it seems to make more of a whistling sound now than before, at lower boost levels. When warmed up, it is barely perceptible even at full boost, but when it's cold, it's there for sure.<p>Incidentally, I had a weird noise coming out of the right side of the car ( I think). At about 2100 to 2400 rpm when the car was still very cold. Seemed like some kinda wheel bearing noise, or as if the brakes were lightly grinding against the rotors...(don't think this is it since it wasn't high pitched like a brake squeal). Anyone else experience this? It was gone once the car warmed up though...<p>Hate this cold....but thank GOD for those seat heaters....<p>-Ash Silver 98.5 1.8TQMS

Re: Is it kind of a moan?
Hmmm, haven't heard that one....our cars sound like 80 year old geriatrics!<br>All kinds of noises emanating from them! 
<p>The fan belt noise that I got wasn't a moan, higher pitched than that...can't really describe it. But the other noise I got was only during driving, at about 2100 to 2400 rpm in all gears....more like a "woowoo" sound that sped up as my speed increased...transmission, driveline, who knows....<p>-Ash Silver (and Salty) 98.5 1.8TQMS
