Hiya

im getting a very wired sound coming from the intake of my chim. it seems to be when it gets warm.
it sounds like a light whistle like hum hollow sound very odd!
ive taken apart the plenum chamber and looked for air leaks and cracks put back togther, changed the air flow meter with a spare and its still the same,
ive ran the car with just the air flow meter conected and not the long tube with air filter and its still doing it! has any one had a similer prob??

regards

Does it sound similar to the tension belt wining(as if its slack and needs replacing)

If so you need to adjust the setting with the allen screw on to of the plenum neck?

Air screw I would say... Turn it up or down 1/4 turn and see if it goes away smile

Use wd40 to locate to spray around the suspected area it should help you pin point the leak
