My sportrak has recently developed a whining noise from the engine, does anyone know of any common faults that could lead to this? it happens when i give it a rev, driving or standing.

need to check all the belts
need to check all the belts inc cambelt, remove auxillary belts one by one till the noise goes away, then check the things that it drove for play, if no play its the belt itself, whining is normally overtension of a belt.
belts
definately check belts as they tend to be noisy, replacing them isnt too difficult just done the job to on mine and problem fixed

Water pump belt.
Many miss the water pump belt which is lower down and below the alternator belt. Its also a more difficult tensioner since it is on a snail cam.

hi i had similar problem just sprayed all belts with BELT SLIP and alternater and water pump bearings with WD40 seems to have cured problem dont know how long for but its a lot easyer than changing the belts.
