I've noticed recently that my BMW 7 Series is making a loud whining noise when I accelerate. It's not a constant noise, but it seems to happen more when I push on the gas pedal. What could be causing this and what should I do?
ReplyThere are a few possible reasons why your BMW is making a loud whining noise when accelerating. One possibility is that your power steering fluid is low and causing the power steering pump to make noise. Another possibility is that there could be a problem with the alternator or a loose belt. It's also possible that it could be an issue with the transmission. I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it diagnosed and repaired.
I experienced a similar issue with my BMW 7 Series and it turned out to be a faulty belt tensioner. The whining noise was caused by the tensioner not functioning properly. I suggest getting this checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible, as a failing tensioner can cause more serious problems if left unresolved.
I had the same issue with my BMW and it turned out to be a simple fix – the serpentine belt needed to be replaced. As belts wear out over time, they can make noise and eventually break if not replaced. It's a good idea to have your belts inspected regularly to prevent any further issues.
