Title: "Whirling" sound when moving off...
Post by: mambo on February 09, 2009, 04:24:12 PM
I got this weird "whirling" sound when moving off...sound goes away after it starts to cruise. Could the sound be from the CVT gearbox, anyone encounter this problem?

My guess is the alternator.

yes. that's "turbo" i meant..

it's normal to have this sound. my previous ride which has a naturally aspirated engine has it too... it could be due to the suction of air during throttling...

People talking about slowing down, not speeding up.

i dun think is the cvt gearbox, mine is 4at and i'm facing that problem too..

normally after the car is warm up, the noise disappears. something to add on, if aircon is switched on at that warming period, the noise gets louder..

i scared is the timing belt or chain, is need to change will be a bomb..  :nonod:

I just had my alternator belt replaced as it was "chirppy" during cold starts and after a car wash! Now no sound but this whirling sound i wonder if its such a big issue. Wonder if i should bring back to TCm to get it check and at the same time get themto fixed my rear wiper, its dead.

Hi, I just sent my Latio for 60K service. Before going, there were no whirling sound. Now I when cruising, i am beginning to hear whirling sound! It started to get louder when we began cruising on the highway & I can hear it clearly when  stopping.
I am very pissed. My car was not like that before servicing & this will probably be my last service at TCM. My warranty expires on 21 Mar 09.
I went to TCM last sat for sevice & change rear window motor!.
Waited 7 hrs for them & get this sound at the end!
Anyone went to TCM & get this resolved? :mad:

sounds like aircon compressor to me. betta have it checked b4 ur warranty over. mw still waiting for stock to arrive. If it's a chirping sound upon engine start, could be alternater belt. got that changed as well during my 40k service

I am going down to Ubi TCM again today. Insisted the service advisor arrange a tester for me during their lunch hour (i have no choice, got a 4pm flight to catch, leaving car in Ubi).
By the way, there is no sound untill I reach cruising speed or 70km/hr and can hear it clearly when slowing down. My warranty expires within a month. :zipped:

I went for testdriver with TCM tester yesterday.
He confirm I got problems with aircon  compressor and wheelbearings.
Luckily that tester told me aircon compressor spoilt. :yehyeh:

forgive me if i give the wrong info... but if the sound u are describing is this irritating bird chipping sound when we start our engine, then its the same that i had earlier. when I asked my mechanic, he hoisted the car up and tighten two nuts below the car and the sound was gone... The sound came from this part that seemed to be connected to the drive train below...

Hope this helps

I also encountered this whirling sound when accelerating. I don't think it is the aircon compressor or gearbox related. Even after I turn off the aircon and blower, and even put to neutral gear, I can still hear it clearly when I step on the accelerator.

Anybody has got this checked by TCM before? What would they do to it, and how long do they need to get it fixed?

Guess the only way to check is to get together. Take a ride in another Latio that seems ok.
If you heard same sound, haha then its normal.
I noticed the sound only after sending in for servicing.

Mine has been confirmed by TCM to be aircon compressor. I ask them how can it be, as I have off my aircon, and can still hear the sound. The SA mention that the aircon compressor is auto turned on after ignition.

As they have run out of stocks, they need to order from Japan, which should take 6 - 8 weeks to arrive.

Luckily mine is still under warranty. Any idea how much a compressor would cost if I am out of warranty?

Hi all,
Long time didn't visit the forum after selling my ride for a year. Was surprise after so long, nissan have yet to resolve the aircon compressor issue. Had the problem after 1 year of ownership. It is definitely an aircon compressor issue when we hear whirling sound in morning and when pulling off. Lucky thing is tanchong warrant it and replace it foc.
Anyway, found the facefilted latiosport rear lights looks very chio. Enjoy the comfy ride guys.

I am surprised to hear that they dont have aircon compressor. The day I went in, they mentioned compressor dont sound right, they change on that day. Maybe its not available in that Svc Centre but they can search if other svc centre has it. I normally request they arrange that or I will go down to the location that has the stock. To wait for 6-8 weeks is just an estimation. They normally wait till they have fillup the container to be shipped to Spore. So the waiting time not sure how long.
