nope thats fine.. ive tried everything now but the noise just wont stop. and i cant use the car because the battery keeps running flat. any more suggestions...

its coming from the right fuel pipe next to the coolant tank. only makes the noise when the battery is connected... strange!!

should be a strip of metal belt or a thick wire going from the alternator top to your engine block.

hi,

ive got a slight problem with my c16xe, the battery keeps running flat, there is a buzzing noise coming from the 2 pipes near the fuel rail, to the left of the coolant tank. it only buzz`z when the battery is connected. even when the power is off it still buzz`z this is causing the battery to run flat. also every so often the engine managment light comes on.
the engine itself it running spot on.

has anyone got any ideas what the problem could be..? thanks! matt :)
