stock 2003 v6 whining?

a_kraker99 · December 2nd, 2008, 04:24 PM

Just got my 2003 v6 and I was wondering if they generally have some whining when slowing down. If no what is the problem? Sounds like it is coming from the front.

Does it do it at ide in park?

a_kraker99 · December 2nd, 2008, 04:29 PM

nope, just coming to a stop at low speeds in gear.

Check your power steering fluid first. Do you hear it when you accelerate?

a_kraker99 · December 2nd, 2008, 04:58 PM

Power steering fluid is good. I dont think I get it when accelerating. Like I said, I dont know if there is a normal winding sound that mustangs have since it is my first one. It doesent sound unhealthy, I actually like the sound but not if it is going to damage stuff.

Mine did that and my powersteering fluid was low it sounded like a crappy suppercharger all the time. But for your problem im not too sure.

just check your fluids, check where you park to see if theres anything on the ground below it.

a_kraker99 · December 2nd, 2008, 05:31 PM

actaully, I just drove it and it does wind up when I accelerate as well.

Tranny. The foxes do it to.

is it a whine or a whistle?

mine was whistlin and it turned out to be a vac leak

a_kraker99 · December 3rd, 2008, 02:31 PM

I think it is more of a whistle I guess. Doesent really do it at idle but I will check that out. Wouldnt I have other issues with a vacuum leak?

car might not run so good, specially at idle if its a decent leak

5 speed?
it might need gear oil

408gt91 · December 3rd, 2008, 08:11 PM

Every stang ive owned.
