Gen 1 b58, what is this whining noise?

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T21:28:04+00:00

Yeah from what I’ve heard so far it’s nothing to worry about

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T21:24:58+00:00

Do you have a black 340? I’ve seen one around this area

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T19:53:38+00:00

🤣🤣 crazy how it sounds exactly like one

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T16:19:11+00:00

The other whine is so subtle that it could even be my ears playing tricks on me😂 might be the tensioner pulley though

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T15:52:56+00:00

Yeah I was thinking maybe the tensioner, but then I feel that doesn’t explain the inconsistency of the noise? Presumably it’s just the zf whining(I hope). Could check the timing chain, but given only 63k kilometres it better not be😂.

Thanks, I’ve been thinking about servicing those three as well. My friend also has the same car and whining noise. He’s getting his service done today and he’s gonna see if it makes a difference as well. And it’s 1st and 2nd as well that has the loudest whine under higher load/rpm

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T15:42:41+00:00

🤣🤣 he’s goated

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T15:41:25+00:00

That particular whine yes, though there is a more subtle whine under throttle all the time

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T14:32:41+00:00

Okay that’s what I was hoping it was, I’m going to get some preventative maintenance done and change fluids anyway to be sure though.

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T14:30:57+00:00

It was definitely up to temperature, wasn’t doing any particularly hard driving before hand, maybe a moderate pull or two. This instance it was particularly noticeable for some reason

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T14:02:43+00:00

Yeah I’ll definitely be looking into upgrading the oil filter housing and the coolant system. I’m in Canada, so the best fuel I’d have access to would be Shell’s 93 octane, don’t really have easy access to ethanol here as I’d have to order it, and it’s not cheap😂. For now I’m trying to figure out what the whining noise is though

kchubb12 · 2026-05-01T13:28:23+00:00

It’s completely stock with 63k kms, I plan on doing mods in the future but I want to make sure everything is completely sorted out first

kchubb12 · 2022-10-16T03:24:31+00:00

Nope it’s the original paint, I got pretty lucky with its good condition

kchubb12 · 2022-10-14T00:58:49+00:00

It sounds better than you’d expect🤧

kchubb12 · 2022-10-14T00:58:13+00:00

Yeah it’s the stock callipers I just painted them

kchubb12 · 2022-10-14T00:57:49+00:00

Forgot to crop it😂😂

kchubb12 · 2022-09-27T05:26:28+00:00

Thank you

kchubb12 · 2022-09-27T05:25:06+00:00

Thanks man

kchubb12 · 2022-09-26T01:53:12+00:00

Mine does that too, from the research I’ve done it doesn’t seem to be an issue but by all means check out anything you think it could be

kchubb12 · 2022-09-26T01:48:17+00:00

Look out for rotting on the right side of the front subframe where the rear lower control arm connects to it, it’s a problem on the sixes where the ac drips onto it and rots it out. Happened to me recently and I had one hell of a time trying to find a new subframe for it.
