problem Vl commodore weird noise

[Scottie666]

Hey guys, i have another question, when in neutral my vl idles sweet as, but when i go to drive it i get a real loud kind of supercharger whine from either the motor or the auto box, I'm thinking gear box. it hadn't been driven or started for 18 months before i got it, could it just be from sitting for so long.
any suggestions would be awesome.

Cheers

it only does it when it is cold bro, there is heaps off fluid in the auto and it is still clean as a whistle.

is the trans over the full mark on the dipstick? (you must check it when engine is warm on a flat surface and at idle)
are your fan belts in good condition? frayed, or overtight.

hey dude, i haven't checked the fluid level when hot , it is up to the line when cold, belts all seem to be fine but will check when i finish here at work.

you check it warm and at idle like jat has said, so the valve body is filled
Never when cold (newer Cars have a hot and cold reading mark on the dipstick sadly the 22 year old girl hasnt)

yeah nath,
i checked it yesterday had it running for ages after i fit the extractors to it, and it is full and clen. still does the whine when you drive it, as soon as you take your foot of the accelerator it stops but as soon as you put it back on it straight up does it again. got me f@%cked on what it is.

not coming from the diff by any chance Scottie, Have a mate sit in the back with his head on the seat and suss it where it is coming from....
might be a warm diff hearing it under load not coasting
Goodluck man

I'll check it out Nathan, didn't think of the diff cause it sounds though it is coming from the front, but that shit can be deceiving lmfao.

thanks heaps for that bro
