stikiller Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 lets start a new topic bout the weird noises our cars make in the winter when its fn freezing out lol. like with mine my belts make a chirping noise on start up when its cold and also when first started when backing up or going forward there is a barely noticable like whistle coming from the engine compartment, and also whats really freaky at first when driving u hear rattling from the engine compartment until u realize its jus the damn ice rattling loose lol!

lightweight14 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Upon first starting the car and turning the heat on I hear a faint whistle sound that gets louder as I increase the fan output. It goes away once the car gets warmed up but thats about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaeGT Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 speaking of weird winter noise... can anyone diagnose this? this is definitely not normal.. haha. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7itE6xC5QYo]YouTube - Cold Weather Noise[/ame] you might have to turn up the volume a little higher to hear the weird "rubber band" noise. I only hear it in 1st/2nd gear, and when I switch to Drive or Reverse (with the foot on the brake pedal). Also is temperature dependent. only happens under 30 degrees Fahrenheit. side note.. i have the infamous '08 5eat stall issue but the APv2 has the +/-300RPM during idle adjustment option so that helped. EDIT: i stalled even with the APv2 fix... thinking about reverting back to stock grrr..... vehicle has a 5yr/100k warranty and im 2yrs with 40k.

stikiller Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 damn man that sounds awful!! all i can say is use the warranty it wont be hard for a mechanic to figure out whats wrong since it happens everytime as long as its cold enough out.

JaeGT Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 i'm just afraid of the subaru dealership voiding my warranty becuz of my mods. even tho i don't think my mods would be making this noise. trans cooler, fmic, k&n intake, perrin crank pulley, erz catted dp, perrin mid y, prodrive mufflers. i'm going down to RI to see GTTuner this sunday. hopefully it's some quick fix. *crosses fingers* or else, ill be scrounging up some stock pieces....
