Hey guys,
I've had this noise going on for a while, it doesn't seem to affect performance or anything and I can't track it down. (1999 SX-R 5SFE 120,000km) Basically I hear a screeching noise which sounds like it's coming from the engine bay. It's most noticeable when I change gears and the revs drop and at specific RPMs or if I rev the car in neutral. It happens with a cold engine and at operating temp. It makes the noise all the time, whether it's moving, stationary, in gear, in neutral, clutch in, clutch out. I'm suspecting, belts, bearings in alternator, or one of the pumps or engine mounts but I can't really hear where it's coming from. I'll try to get a recording of the noise, but it will probably be a bit hard to hear. Thanks for any advice you guys have. |

Thanks guys,
I haven't had a chance to look at it again yet. Is the power steering belt easy to tighten? I couldn't find anything about it in the manuals I have. |

Right behind where the subframe meets the body is the bolt and belt in question for the pump. Its a 14mm can get to it with a normal socket but when you tension it back it can get in the way, so ones of those bent wrenches are the best. Can't recall the name =P But the prying is the fun part. I've always stuck a prybar behind the pump and what I assume is the mount bracket or block and use my leg/knee to apply tension. Can take a few tries.
