Been running shakedown/break in excursions for a while now. Gen3+TKX. 300+ miles, and no MIL faults, no major issues no mention, and lots of thumbs up. Keeping RPMs low and moderate accel for the first 500miles. I have 3 sounds I’m working to diagnose: Chirps, buzz’s, and squeals
Chirps: I think I have this one figured out – This is the PS door latch squeaking metal on metal as the door vibrates underway. I have not yet installed the bulb seal on the door. That should take up the slack in the door, along with a little lithium grease on the latch itself.
Squeal: This one sounds an awful lot like a belt squeal. Occurs only on light throttle application (unless I just can’t hear it at higher RPMs). It could be any of the pulley bearings is my guess. My dad is in town this week, so in addition to him getting some rides, will have a second set of ears to listen while in the garage and lightly on the throttle. More to follow there. Looks like other threads have had these kind of noises go away over time.
Buzz: This one seems to be coming from the transmission tunnel. Sounds almost like crickets (for lack of a better description), though pretty faint. Also appears to be under light throttle application, though not as consistent as the squeal above. Any ideas on this one I’m all ears. Will be checking this week as well when in neutral with light throttle.
I can try to get some video if it helps.
Also - driving this thing is amazing! constant smiles
