I dont know your particular model but it sounds expensive. Usualy cheaper to diagnose now before it blows .

I believe your unit is functioning correctly.
Any remedy will be extremely temporary and can mean more trouble when reverting to current state.

"A terrible whining noise"?
That's a sure sign that the chocolate/wine levels have dropped below the recommended minimum. Top those up, and all will be fine.

If they are low, check for leaks. Pointless topping it up with expensive chocolate and wine, if you're just going to have to repeat the exercise in a few days' time.

So todays lesson is that the whining noise is not always terminal?
I'd be more worried about an intermittent bottom end rumble!

Can also develop when owners attempt to modify the exhaust, without using the proper tools...

Get rid of any that have these symptoms :-)
1)excessive sounds/noise emitting from exhaust.
2)sloppy internals,usually after rugby team have tried and failed.
3)do not attempt to negotiate when any red liquid is about to be flushed.
4)try to get them back in the kitchen,extra points if barefeet and pregnant.
5)do not share with neighbour,like any mechanical item it will come back fucked.

I think you'll find that there's nothing wrong with the motor.
It's just the Management System that's farked.

But apparently hitting the said head of management system is wrong.Usually a decent hit with a hammer fixes all things,or if it is nearly broke it will be totally fucked after.:stupid:

Stromfrau suggests that rather than fixing the whine just take the battery out of your hearing aid.

I suggest that although it appears the wife is the problem, on closer inspection, it will probably prove to be an idiot for an owner/operator

I know what the problem is, she has electrolux disease, named after the vacuum cleaner brand name.

Not a problem, look in your tool kit, you will need one (yes you're right) one (I am sorry) and one ( I love you). Administer to ears of said wife and the nasty noises will disappear, albeit temporarily.
As for the exhaust blowing off, your on your own mate.:msn-wink:

There's your problem....the Mainland Bearings have gone.
Regular servicing is great, but it won't stop longterm wear and tear on some critical parts.
There are those that would just chuck some thicker oil in there and flog it off to someone else, but if it's otherwise a keeper, then nothing short of a total stripdown and rebuild is going to work.

3rd September 2009, 16:36
Is the warranty still valid? Or has the problem started just after it ran out, which is typical. And is it still in original condition, or have you fucked around adding mods to liven it up, this can cause all sorts of unknown problems. Best of luck.
Oh, and check if this model has been recalled at any stage, you might have an out there

I guess that a second hand model with a few miles on the clock, is possibly due a lubricant change?
I'll have to check and make sure a banana hasn't been shoved up the diff, to quieten the noise, in the past.

Did you find that the performance level was in the higher bracket when you had your model on appro, then fall off when you took ownership?

Good point. Something else to watch for...a lot of those warranties are 'Return to base'. Can you remember where you got it from?

Some say that the older models are better as they are looser and can run free'er, but when the seals are going and the fu-fu valve needs looking at, maybe it is time for drastic action! Depending on the age, Slick 50 could be worth trying? One option is to change brands entirely but I know KB'ers are a stubborn lot , some might even say faithful.

There is some truth in that. Mind you, none were ever made to just pop in the corner and look at. They have to be used regularly to ensure that they don't seize up. A spot of lube chucked in the intake* goes a long way to ensuring they will not disappoint you by lacking performance. Or, heaven forbid, actually breakdown, leaving you unable to complete your journey.
* this is where the wine and chocolates come in handy

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the beaches in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town.
People would say, "What a peaceful & loving couple"
The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.
The Husband replied, "Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in America," explained the man.
"We visited the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, and took a trip down to the bottom of the canyon, by horse.
We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled and she almost fell off.
My wife looked down at the horse and quietly said, "That's once."
"We proceeded a little further and her horse stumbled again. Again my wife quietly said, "That's twice."
We hadn't gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled for the third time my wife quietly removed a revolver
from her purse and shot the horse dead.
I SHOUTED at her, "What's wrong with you, Woman! Why did you shoot the poor animal like that, are you “f@#*! crazy!?"
She looked at ME, and quietly said, "That's once."
And from that moment "We have lived happily every after."

Mine does that every now and again. Normally if I block the noise out of my mind it goes away - even if only until the day after pay day. I've found that "outta sight...outta mind" works too.

I've been led to believe that a loaner is definately out of the question.

A service agent who doesn't have a loaner available? That's terrible! I'd be suggesting to them that if they want my business, they'd better sort that state of affairs.
