My 95 Disco (auto trans) has been making a low pitched groaning whine when at idle. It doesnt make a difference what gear i'm in, its just at idle. when i tap the gas to increase the idle, the sound goes away. I got out of the car and put my head in the engine bay while it was making that noise, but i couldnt hear it over the engine noise. It sounds like it may be coming from the transmission hump inside the car. Any suggestions? Any help is always appreciated. | ||

It is most likely the belt/tensioner bearing. There was a TSB issued for this that suggested replacing the bearing (6203-RSJ if I remember correctly) and the belt. Of course, I found the TSB reference after replacing my power steering pump, bearing, etc. Paul | ||

Thanks paul, i'll check it out. However, I did replace the tensioner bearing with the NAPA bearing (part # floating around on these boards) last summer. Since I bought an extra, I'll go ahead and replace it and the belt together this weekend. | ||

I dont think thats the problem. I sprayed some wd-40 on the pulley and belt and the groaning sound remained. Besides, the belt and pulley bearing were replaced in the summer. Thanks, though. I hate to take it in to a shop. |
