    Default sienna whistle noise!

    Hi every one!
    I am very new here and would like to join in this forum to share some helpful info about cars. I got 2001 sienna and had 90k km on it, the engine look ok no oil leak or anything but when I start the vehicle in diffrent weather condition, some time I heard a sound like whistle noise came the alternator. The sound came off after warmimg up or so... I gessing the bearing of the alternator is dry or turning bad, so anyhow can I grease it or lubricate it? How are every one think? is that the problem or something else. Thanks in advance!

    Take it down to a Toyota dealership for an oil change, and just ask them the same question. Clarify before hand if they will charge you to inspect the problem, or just guess at it.

    Sounds like a drive belt issue to me.

    Check the tension of your accessory drive belts, if they're loose, tighten them up. OH YEAH, don''t do this while the engine is running.
