Whirring noise 320i
I have a 320i 1991 model and there is this whirring noise that sounds like
a slipping drive belt. It only happens when I go above 50 mph. Is it the drive belt or any other? Please help. Thanks. |

Thanks for the advise. I had a close up inspection of the drivebelt this
morning and saw several splits on the edges and had it changed myself. Problem sorted. Thanks. |

I also had a look on the viscous fan coupling. How do test if it has
seized. Please advise. Thanks. |

It should spin fairly easily if the engine is cold. -- Who needs a life when you've got Unix? :-) Email: , John G.Burns B.Eng, Bonny Scotland Web : http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk - The Ultimate BMW Homepage!

There seems to be no problem on the viscous fan and as you said it spins
fairly while engine is cold. Thanks for the advise. |
