So, I've never in 20 years come across this but the other day I was out for a jaunt in my 1974 914=4 which still has original fuel injection (fuel pump relocated to front and rebuilt) stainless steel lines... and I hear this sharp whistle/squeal coming from the rear left. I slowed down and it went away as I rolled to a stop.
I revved the motor and nothing... I started again and in about 1/4 mile it started up again... I took it out of gear and let it wind down, but it continued. (at this point I was thinking a wheel bearing spun or something in the wheel...) I could not replicate the whistle standing still. It only happens when moving and the engine is engaged it seems. The only thing I need to try is turning off the car to see if the sound is motor or wheel-related. Thoughts? Has anyone ever had this before? Thanks in advance all. John |
