| 1482620 | 2021-12-01 19:35:00 | It recently (2 weeks ago) had a service. Relevant or not...I don't know. Anyway last couple of days when I first start - while car is cold - there's a hissy noise.....it goes away once car is warm. Like the sound a frying pan makes when you drop the steak in. What is it? No dash lights on, no difference in the way it drives or anything. |

| 1482624 | 2021-12-02 02:20:00 | Hmmm, slipping whilst cold causing hissing sound, stops slipping and becomes more "grippy" as it heats up, I'd be looking to adjust fanbelt/alternator pulley tension as a first step, but if there are obvious signs of wear then replace of course. | zqwerty (97) | ||
