Sometime over the winter, my Z developed an obnoxious
rotational grinding / whirring noise. The source of the noise
was irritatingly difficult to pinpoint. Initially I suspected that
the fan clutch was going bad, as the noise possibly seemed to
be emanating from that general area. Then, after laying down
next to the car, I suspected that it was coming from the
clutch / transmission area. I did some research here and had
the suspicion that it was possibly the throw out bearing going
bad. In any case, today I finally got a chance to get the car
on ramps and get under the car to isolate where the noise was
originating from. With the help of my brother in law (thanks
Brent!) and a handy automotive stethoscope, we were able to
target the A/C tensioner pulley as the culprit of the noise.
Made me feel MUCH better knowing that it was a non-critical
pulley that was causing this annoyance. P.S. If anyone has an A/C Tensioner Pulley for sale shoot me
an email.
