Kazzz Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi all! My car is making a noise similar to this one : In the comments they are saying that manifold screws were lose. Does anyone know where to locate these and is it something that can be easily be done yourself? Any pictures/diagrams etc would be great.

Kazzz Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 So I had the breakdown guy take a look, he reckons its the cam variator as the oil is drained out the engine when the cars off and when it starts up it takes a while for the cylinder head to fill up with oil at which point the noise also stops/lessens. I can't find much online about this. Any help please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes it makes that exact same whistling noise when it goes. Look on eBay there at loads there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazzz Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 It is not that. I had that issue a while ago and already had it replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalSTifer Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Did you ever find out what the problem is? My 07 has just started doing the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 If you’re talking about an ST it’ll be worth checking the oil filter diaphragm as mentioned above. Though I think the symptoms are usually a high pitched whistling, the check is to see if it goes away if you open the oil filler cap while the engine is running - also pressure/vacuum if you try to remove the dipstick. Google for more info, think it needs the whole oil filter unit replacing to fix it - as mentioned above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalSTifer Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Hi Troy, It's not the oil diaphragm. Sounds like it's coming from one of the belts but, had a mechanic look at it and he says it's not the belts. Bit flummoxed if I'm honest! It only does it on cold start, or when started after a while sat in a sunny car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 It’s not the alternator on its way out is it? Or one of the belt tensioners Failing that maybe try speaking to Gary at Collins Performance, he has years and years of experience with ST’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
