WHINE Hyundai Elantra WHINE
My 2004 Hyundai Elantra has had a whine since I bought it. It sounds
like a loose fan belt whine, but, it's been checked numerous times and I've been told the fan belt's fine. If I turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right, it makes this whine, then it goes away. I don't have any troubles at all with steering. In the cold weather, the car has been making this whine as soon as I start it up (without turning the steering wheel), then it goes away. I'm taking it back to the dealer (again) to see if they can find the source. Any suggestions? Thanks, Andrea |

Just because the steering is working, does not mean there is not a problem with the power steering pump or the valves inside of it. It may be a good idea to explain it to the service manager, then leave the car overnight so they can start it cold in the morning and listen. |

I'd suspect a loose alternator belt.

That's interesting, since the car doesn't have a fan belt. The fan is electric. > If I turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right, it makes > this whine, then it goes away.
