Odd noise
The 156 1.9 JTD had started making a very odd noise.
Started yesterday, under heavy throttle, a sort of shhhshhsshshs noise, best I can describe it is like the noise of waves receding on a pebble beach. Only happens under heavy throttle, neutral or slight acceleration there is no problem. So, how terminal and expensive is this likely to be? -- Rob Pearson 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (now) 164 V6 Lusso (gone) |

I'm guessing, as I haven't looked at this on that engine, but there should be flexible (rubber?) hoses between the turbo and intercooler and intercooler and inlet manifold. The joints are usually well fitted by Alfa so I'd suspect a split pipe. -- Z Scotland Alfa Romeo 156 2.4JTD Veloce Leather 'Oil' be seeing you..

Catman spoke:
> Probably neither. Sounds like a possible air leak. Had a listen under > the bonnet? Yes, but under no load the noise only comes in at high revs, so is competing with the engine noise. It is like turning a switch, at whatever road speed, or any gear, at 30, 50, 80mph, light throttle is OK, heavy throttle has heads turning wondering WTF is that? > Also, try turning the aircon *right* off. <g> yes, and I did do that - no difference. It does sound like an air leak though. I shall try to investigate further over the weekend. -- Rob Pearson 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (now) 164 V6 Lusso (gone) |

It got worse on the way home tonight, and the engine warning light came on at one point. Then it lost power..... Pulled over, had a look around, could see nothing, re-started it, engine light off, but the SHSHSHSHSHHS changed, when it was there, I had power, then it would drop off, and so would the power. Limped it home, and with the aid of #1 son, we found a split in the bottom hose - nora clue what it is, but it is a large (100mm diameter?) soft rubber hose at the bottom front of the engine, from mid-way towards near-side wing. There is a definite split in it, and you can see it open when the engine is revved. Tomorrow I shall clean off the greasy black gunk it is coated with and apply some duct tape as a temporary bodge. If that fixes it, then I can just order one. -- Rob Pearson 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (now) 164 V6 Lusso (gone) |
