Hey everyone,
I have always driven with the windows down and/or music blasting, but I drove in silence for once and heard a weird sound for the first time that I think is the CVT.
When accelerating from a stop at half-ish throttle I get this weird winding/whining sound between 1500-2000rpm. It gets higher and lower in pitch as the rpms move in this narrow range. I haven't heard the sound when accelerating slowly at less than half throttle.
If I'm already moving above 30mph or so and speed up I can't hear the sound, which makes me think it's just the CVT belts moving around changing ratios or whatever. That, or the engine and road noise block it out!
This is my first CVT too, so I'm thinking this is just a normal thing. Is it a normal thing?
Another question I have is what the signs that a CVT is having problems. I've never had one before so this noise thing is bothering me. It would be nice to know what a problem would look like.
