Supercharger Noise

[Mini Martyn]

Their is a nasty whine comeing from my supercharger, has anyone S drivers had a problem with this?? It happens when I am at a set of traffic lights and rev it a wee bit, and as its settles it makes a groning nose!! :disapprove:

[seany]

the supercharger is ment to whine, my one does anyway.

[Julz]

Doean't sound to healthy Martyn, you should maybe get it checked out as the supercharger shouldn't whine when you're not moving!:(:I

[seany]

yes but he is reving it

[Julz]

Aye, but he's only revving it a wee bit, the supercharger still shouldn't be kicking in with idle revving!

[Mini Martyn]

Hey thanks for the advise, its more a moaning noise not like the nice whine whilst driving. Im taking it to Henry Bros. tommorow as they had a power cut today.

I will let you know what they say.

That's the advantage of a supercharger over a turbo in that it's always working as it connected directly to the engines spinning mechanical parts and not relying on exhaust gasses to power it like the turbo....:approve: But you probable already know all that don't you :p:D:approve:

Aye I did, but I was meaning that you shouldn't know about it, cause mine doesn't whine til you boot it, and that's with all th mods!! Mmmm, supercharger possibility for Robs car though!!!!:D

Ok, the noise is not normal, there is no whine from the charger when slightly revving at the traffice lights, i went up to a local set of lights here in the big metropolis of Montrose and there was defo no whine coming from the charger ;)

Seriously, get it checked out, there is something not quite right, must be to do with the engine as you get it when you are stationary, so movement of the car is ruled out.
Usual suspects are, water pump, alternator, camshafts and supercharger's

Good luck and fingers crossed it'll be fixed under warranty

Daisy doesn't groan either. Hope you get it sorted. I'm too old to sit at traffic lights revving :evil::clown:

[DNV122]

Traffic Lights, what are they ? Must be some new-fangled semafore device they have in the Central Belt....

[Quik_Mini]

Hope it isn't too bad m8, just thought I would add while we are on the topic of superchargers, has anyone heard of a Rotrex supercharger? Heh seriously nice and makes a nice rattlesnake boost noise..

[Mini Martyn]

[Gismo]

[Mini Martyn]

Their was a hose that every time you reved the engine it closed up and then when you took your foot off the pedal it would open up again hence the reason it made a noise.

Dosent sound to safe I am just glad that its sorted as I dont fancy a dodgy hose over christmas! ;)

[seany]

it is good you have your car back martyn
