97 XJ6 engine squeal on cold weather startup
#21
My guess is that his Jag tech didn't want to try it himself.
Maybe he's not as crazy as he seems.
However, if he were MY Jag tech? --->
lol. No offense AZ...just givin you a hard time.

96 xj6 making whistling sound when going over about 25mph
My 1996 XJ6 makes a whistling sound when i go over about 25 or 30 mph. At first i thought it might have been a belt, but then i realized it was coming from the back. I just had my brakes done and im thinking they might have put them on too tight. any ideas?

a common windnoise issue back then was side mirror gaps. The line(gap) where the mirror housing pivots on the fixed base. It can sound like its coming behind you, so tape that gap and see if it stops. If not then inspect door seals and start taping gaps till you hit the whistle. Once you find it ill tell you how to fix em

Any one figure out anything definite that causes the squeal ? My 94 xj40 is doing same and getting worse . I have replaced the alternator thinking it was the bearing . Had repair guy tell me after that it may be a bushing the crankshaft rides on (?) . He's not a Jag guy but he has helped me out on a few basic repairs on it . It's actually getting bad now to where the belts look like they could jump off the pulleys when revving the engine. The A/C compressor is new as well . This used to only happen in cold weather at first startup , but now I can drive it an hour or more and it will come and go . Usually at slow speeds ,stop signs etc. Volt meter on dash will drop 15-20 seconds then go back to normal . Any ideas ?
