Title: Motors Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, 12:23:25 THis is going to sound lie a daft question but I'm gonig to ask anyway Had AA look at the car last night which was making a loud wining noise, he said that the fault was with a motor in the engine Now I cannot remember what the motor was he said, it was not the starter motor as he said he disabled that but he gave another name and it is annoying me that I cannot remember what it was called Anyone any ideas what 'motors' are in an engine and I may recognise the name ?

Title: Re: Motors Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, 12:39:39 Power steering pump or alternator would be my guess.
Title: Re: Motors Post by: 4D on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, 13:13:37 Alternator
Title: Re: Motors Post by: @MacPhlea on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, 13:30:46 If it squeals when turning the steering wheel its the power steering pump.
If it squeals when cold it could be the fan belt slipping If it squeals all the time then its likely to be the water pump If its a high pitched whine then its likely to be the alternator... Title: Re: Motors Post by: 4D on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, 13:36:13 Just turn your stereo up

Title: Re: Motors Post by: Simon Pieman on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, 18:24:29 If it does it when you put the wipers on then it's the windscreen wiper motor

Title: Re: Motors Post by: Mother Brown on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, 21:15:53 If the very nice man disabled the starter motor,did he use one of them there cranking handles to start the engine?
Ps could be the aircon. Title: Re: Motors Post by: 4D on Tuesday, October 8, 2013, 23:46:00 If it does it when you put the wipers on then it's the windscreen wiper motor Sippo doesn't use his wipers ;) Title: Re: Motors Post by: Power to people on Wednesday, October 9, 2013, 15:16:36 The annoying thing is he didnt leave any paperwork car has been taken to Ford but when starting the car the noise was gone, I'm hoping this is an issue that happens when the engine is hot as I had only driven about 6 miles home in it...hopefully Ford will find and fix
Title: Re: Motors Post by: Power to people on Friday, October 11, 2013, 10:27:25 Anyone heard of a Fossil Body - Ford have said this is what the issue is and have ordered the part (finally) - just not sure what it actually is
Title: Re: Motors Post by: Mister Lorenzo on Friday, October 11, 2013, 11:10:26 I think it might be "throttle body"....
Title: Re: Motors Post by: Power to people on Friday, October 11, 2013, 11:50:29 I think it might be "throttle body".... Maybe I misheard...what is it ? Title: Re: Motors Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, October 11, 2013, 11:54:52 Maybe I misheard...what is it ? Its the bit that sits around the throttle that controls the mixing of fuel and air.Similar to this part.
