Sudden Blower Whine
Hi there I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this?
I have approximately 5100 miles and in the last week the blower whine become very noticeable. I could never hear it before in or out of the car. It's so noticeable that when I parked last weekend at a local cars and coffee people were asking me what is the new blower I have installed. Thank you |

Are you sure its blower whine? I had a bad pulley making a whiney noise. You shouldn't hear any blower whine if the car is idling

I do hear the sound at idle. It seems to match rpms. Now I am wondering if it's the A10. Short of taking it to the dealer how can I diagnose it.
I like the sound but if it's a transmission issue I'm going to need that looked at. |

My A10 makes a whine noise, I just assumed it was normal. I can hear it at parking lot speeds.

I wonder if this is the sound I hear. It almost sounds like a RF (radio frequency) noise coming from the radio and it does react to rpm.....

i think it has to do with the temps getting hotter maybe.. mine has about 13,000 miles and now thats 90 plus out it seems to be louder. I also took the noise damper off the inside of the lid..
I also cut the bottom of my box out like a lot.. that made a big difference in noise and slow take offs no more stutters or falling on face..

Update on the sudden Whine
I have found the culprit to the whine i have. Looks like the upper pulley. Going to the dealership tomorrow to have them look at it. Let me know what you guys think is the problem might be and what i should ask the dealer to help me out with here.
I have a video i took. Trying to figure out how to post it. The whine is getting louder everytime i drive it Here is a link to the video. https://www.dropbox.com/s/a52a1x1pec...whine.mp4?dl=0 Thank you |

Is there play in the upper pulley? Can you physically wiggle it? Snout bearing?
If you are under warranty, I would have a dealership that you trust have a look at it.
