Whine went transmission is engaged and brake pedal is depressed

murrakami · **August 12, 2013, 11:32:51**

Hi All,

It is audible when the car is on drive and the brake is engaged to keep the car from creeping. If I put the car on neutral the whining stops or is barely audible. The noise is not loud but a bit annoying when all is quiet inside the car. Is this normal for the petrol GD?

Cheers,

Manual or auto?

How many miles/k's?

If manual i would guess clutch release bearing.

It is auto and has done 3,600 kms only.

Off topic slightly, but useful for browsers with "whining". I thought I had a wheelbearing going bit it turns out its a tyre issue. Nothing visibly wrong with the tyre but rotating all 4 has fixed it. I picked up the idea from the Kia C'eed guys. Along with Audi owners.... And some VW & Vauxhall guys.... Thought to be something to do with independent rear suspension, but not a fault as such.

I forgot to mention that if I let go of the brake and let the car creep there is no whine.

Interesting....
I have a petrol GD. When I first start it in the morning (especially when it is cold) i get a fairly loud whiiirrr from the motor. It sounds like a chamber filling with air or something. Only happens for about 10-20 seconds then stops. It does not do it after this throughout the day even when cold.
I am not sure if this is a fault as it was serviced 3 days ago and all is good.. but it could possibly be the same noise i get. not sure.

murrakami · **Reply #7: August 13, 2013, 11:15:44**

I also have the same issue during start up (there is a thread about this). I guess my i30 is just simply whiner!

Do You Think

Getting to the whine(not wine or you wouldn't be complaining

) this could be early warning signs there is a auto pump failure beginning,take it back to the dealer and have it checked.

Some Auto's when low on oil will make this type noise,take it back to the dealer and have it checked

This noise can also happen if auto bands are incorrectly adjusted,take it back to the dealer and have it checked.

A brand new Auto transmission should not be making any noises at all,other than a very very slight thud as you place it in gear,from your discription(I can't hear it) this does not sound correct to me personally

Good point about the transmission oil so I thought of checking the level. It was my first time to open the hood since I bought the car 8 months ago and I could not find the dip stick. I then consulted the manual and found no reference to a transmission fluid dip stick. Am I missing something here?

Cheers

I do not wish to sound condisending here,but Holy cow,first time you have opened the bonnet in eight months,I'm just gob smacked,your obviously someone who has the upmost confidence in the gauges and the electronic warning systems in your car,I do a vehicle pre check EVERY day.

Anyhow,back to your gearbox,from what I understand they are a sealed unit,this is something that has to been done by the dealer,I'm not a 100% sure but I think the dipstick would be on the fill bolt,I know they can be drained and oil replaced as I had a warranty job done on one of our manuals,so it can be checked,haven't had much to do with the Auto's,I'm only relating the noise to that of older auto's I can't see why modern auto's are any different

Yes i am one those who rely on the car's dashboard warning lights and chimes. I clock less than 10k kms a year only so i tend to assume that the fluids should last until the next service.

The i30 is due for its 1st service this December and i am flagging the transmission issue. In the meantime, i'll put it on neutral when stationary or crank up the stereo to drown the whine.

Is the wife in the car??? I know I hear a lot of annoying whines when mine joins me in my car

murrakami · **Reply #14: November 16, 2013, 00:07:48**

Just got my car serviced and here are the findings relating to this issue: "Carried out diagnostic test, no fault codes found. Road tested vehicle, unable to reproduce concern." Both transmission and wife are now under observation.

I love it the way Hy always has that stock answer for EVERYTHING,we could not reproduce the reported problem.

How annoying (the Dealer, not the wife)

Maybe that is one of the ECU's error messages

Error #76 "unable to replicate the fault"

It's the one they rely on.

Do you have reader?

Youcoukd check what codes are showing before you go to dealers then call their bluff..

Problem is some issues don't seem to throw up a fault code (but they are still problems)

Doggie 1 · **Reply #22: November 17, 2013, 22:58:00**

So you have a transmission that whines a lot and your brake pedal is depressed......
Poor car.
Perhaps if you can stop putting your foot on the brake pedal so much it might lift its self esteem a bit.
As for the whining, you'll probably find it's just the way your transmission is geared.

murrakami · **Reply #23: November 18, 2013, 07:53:57**

I am now in the habit of putting the car on neutral when at the traffic lights or idling for long periods. Never had this issue with the Getz.

Do autos has thurst bearings or similar

Phil №❶ · **Reply #25: November 18, 2013, 09:27:47**

No they don't, but they have many valves to channel oil through a multitude of channels. When the engine is running, there is a transmission oil pump which circulates oil to provide driving force, the pressure increases with engine load.
