When ever I rev our 1300cc swift past 2.8k rpm it starts making a 'continuous high pitched whoosh' sound..something like a thousand samurais slicing the air with their katanas or something. Jokes aside, The sound would increase with the revs and when i drop the accelerator immediately, it would make a whoosh sound again and just idle normally.
Note that it is not a squeak as those usually originate from the timing/serpentine belt. It seems to be coming from the intake plenum. Mileage is 100k , oil changed recently, timing belt changed an year ago, new gasket as well. I have to take this thing on a long trip in 3 days so for peace of mind I need some advice.
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
