My jag has been making this noise ever since I bought it, but now it's starting to annoy me. Whenever I turn it off it sounds like a gear is grinding. I've looked, but just can't seem to find the culprit. I have also never noticed the clunking noise that is given off when turning off the engine until taking that video.

On a side note, when I rev the engine it seems that there is more of a high pitched noise coming from the engine that is not the power steering pump because it doesn't change when I turn the wheels. Any help on both of these issues would be greatly appreciated!

 

What gearbox is fitted??????
Could be the dual mass flywheel for the manual or the flexplate for the auto???

It's the manual... I've been having intermittent clutch problems, so that could explain it. Any other possibilities?

 

It's not so much of a scraping as a humming. The scraping doesn't continue only from 1500-2800rpm like the bulletin states

 

ok, I figured it out... My a/c clutch just went out and I found it's rattling around a lot. The sound was the a/c clutch on it's last legs. If anyone else is experiencing this noise, tighten the bolt on the a/c clutch. It would have saved me a large PITA.

 

Thx for keeping us posted!
