Hello everyone!
I am having a bit of an issue with my Commodore. Last year I started noticing a small buzzing/whining sound coming from the engine bay. Over the year it has become worse and now I am getting a bit concerned. So, it has done 216000k, it has been a family car and I inherited it from my dad 13000k ago LOL . The oil has been changed every 5000-7000 together with filters. I have tried to use mechanical stethoscope to trace it and sort of localised the noise - thought it was coming from the AC pump, and spent $550 to change it. However it didn't fix the problem - I fixed the "healthy" part :doh:
So, I have recorded the sound on my smartphone:
Here it is stationary (sorry for the vertical video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m4ijaHCuYY
Here it is in driving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwUn4WI-F3E
Does anyone has any clue where this problem is located? Has anyone came across the point where you managed to fix it?
I have seen similar posts, but it seems like no one managed to pin point the issue.
Please help
Thanks
