What is wrong with my 2001 Ford Escape 4x4?
This problems happens right from when i start the car and it gets louder when i move the steering wheel left or right and also when i give the car gas to get it moving it does the wine as i'm moving but the last time i drove it the sound had gone away ones i had driven it for 5 minutes but as soon as i turned it off and came back 10 minutes later and started it up it was back again.
It appears to most likely be the water pump or belt idler wheel bearing, but it could be any item driven by the 'fan belt' (aka serpentine belt).
Something has a worn out bearing, whether it's the water pump, idler or air con clutch etc.
It needs the belt removing and all parts / idler(s) checking for bearing wear.
- How is fording a river in a manual 4x4 different to an automatic 4x4? I had forded a river with a LR Defender before and usually stuck it in Low 2nd gear and push through the river at 2-3k rpm. Luckily I never got stuck in the middle but I remember reading somewhere that it is easier to ford rivers with an automatic gearbox due to the lack of clutch housing? Since automatic gearbox won't really stall in the middle of the river, would it be okay to shift it in reverse if stuck?
