Noise coming from dash!

Post by owenmac »

Just got a diesel T25 and there's a funny winning type noise coming from around the clocks in the dash when I drive.
Its not the speedo its disconnected. Could it be a relay?

winning noise?

It could still be the speedo cable if it's still connected at the wheel but if it's more like a buzzing noise then it could be the buzzer of doom and needs investigating...NOW!

I used to get an annoying sort of whirring noise related to engine speed. Eventually tracked it down to the cold start cable. Reduced the noise a lot by fitting a rubber grommet where it goes through the mounting plate. Eliminated it altogether by fitting an engine without a cold start cable!

Worth a try?

Speedo cable 'square peg round' hole :D changes with speed. Oil buzzer comes on at low revs <2K or high revs electronic buzz sound think of "stylophone through a distortion pedal" :D

Ok looked at this again so when van is idling its ok and when I rev it noise starts. speedo is disconnected and its not cold start cable so must be BOD.

Disconnected the instrument pod and buzzin has stopped. So what do I do now , check oil level and pressure?
My van was orginaly 1.6 d and is 1.9 now.
