When I am accelerating in second gear, there seems to be a whinning noise similar to that of a supercharger. Anyone got any ideas what the noise it. I wish it was a fudgekin supercharger. The car is a 1.1 mk3 Fez.

Wheel bearings ? Why don't I hear it on any other gear ?

by **Rich si** on Thu Jul 17, 2003 4:09 pm

He means gearbox or diff bearings

yea cheers rich i meant gearbox or diff bearings. ive just put in a new box on mine cause the bearings were shot. it had whined in all gears for ages then started gettin really bad wen the revs were dropping in second and then all gears started to be affected one by one so i had to change it.

How much will this set me back to do this, cos I have other Fez stuff to spend my money on ?

Fucksake.

It won't fit, make sure its full of oil, and it'll last ages

Gearbox from scrappers shouldn't be more than £50

Easy to fit, dependent upon your toolbox (oo-er)

BowdenJ - why won't it fit, exactly?

I have an RS1800 (uprated bearings box) available for sale - I want shot of it and it's in good nick so you can have it off me for £50 notes if you're in or near London any time soon

Doesn't make bugger all difference as far as the gearbox is concerned - they all use 17-spline input shafts.

Don't think I will be in London any time soon, and I probably wont have a Fiesta either if and when I visit there.

Gazz, where are you based? If it's not too far I won't mind running the box up to you.
