Victor91 Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Serious question, just curious. I've heard it makes so many different things/sounds, whines, clanging noises all types of things. Does it cause your car to stall? if you hear it "whining" is it already dead. Is it a whine on just acceleration, does it match the speed of your wheels? I have this issue that started a day ago, not clanging (nails in a can) no whine noise, no leaks, no smell but my car sounds like a wind up toy/RC car as I accelerate. Intensifies as I increase speed. Sometimes it dissipates , but other times it's very noticeable After going in and mentioning maybe the dreadful PTU?????♀️??♀️??♀️ or what I thought was maybe the power steering pump complaining. I was told my driver's side ball joint and new driveshaft bringing it Monday, but I'm nervous if it's a misdiagnosis i do have a few front end clunks that have recently started, so I do know my driveshaft needs repair/replacing and struts are next. I'm just wondering though what EXACTLY does a failing/failed PTU sound like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 On mine, it sounded like gear noise. Kind of a whirring sound. New one is completely quiet. If you can hear it, be suspicious Ford garage found the PTU was spitting out black goo during an oil change. New unit installed under extended warranty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
