2017 Mitsubishi Montero Sport low rpm noise

[Ruben7736]

Hello fellow tsikoteers! Just recently got our new Montero Sport 2017 GLS A/T. I've been listening to the engine while driving and there seems to be some sort of whirring or spooling sound at around 800 - 1.1k rpm (not really sure if it's the turbo at work here and I'm just being paranoid). I also feel slight vibrations at the gas pedal whenever I hear the strange noise. Any idea what seems to be the problem? (if any) All pieces of advice would be gladly appreciated. Cheers!

sir share ko lang, yung unit namin minsan nagkaka ganyan. sa 1k rpm lumalabas yung sound pag naka on yung aircon at mainit ang ambient temp. nireklamo ko nung nag 5k kms pms last december sa diamond motors fairview at sabi ng service advisor eh normal lang daw yun. tinest din namin yung isang 2016 unit at meron ganung sound. after nun eh hinayaan ko na lang. 15k kms na unit namin eh ok pa naman.

Thanks for the input Sir Bogart. I just find the whirring sound and vibration at the pedal to be weird considering brand new yung sasakyan. I don't experience this with our family's other new Diesel SUV. Called up our Service Advisor earlier to ask about it and he told me that it was normal with the AC on. Anyways, I'll still have the weird noise and pedal vibration checked this coming Friday.

Toyota Fortuner

Would your fort happen to be a 2016/2017 model?

Also observe this low rpm sort of a faint whistling noise when the engine bay is opened(have posted about this in the fort thread). Don't observe this on our millenium starex. Sounds like it has something to do woth the air flow from the fan to the engine. . . Not really sure though . .. still waiting for it to near 5k kms before I head back again to manila

hows your air intake filters?

Reviving this thread, i have this on my 3 week old montero and noticed it from day 1. Not sure if this is normal, the previous version didnt have it, any feedback from you guys that have addressed it to casa?

Hello Everyone!

I am also experiencing the same problem with my Monty 2009 GLS SE 4x4 i.e. buzzing or humming low pitch, air whirlwind sound at low rpm (1500 to 1800) usually at second gear.. My good friend, a veteran buy and sell, told me it's common in Monty specially 4x4 variant, and nothing to worry about. He also told me that the sound is being caused by the nozzle of air intake pipe touching or vibrating against the plastic shroud around the radiator fan.. You can see that this design of intake pipe is really playing and not fixed.. Anyway at first I was adamant. But the noise is really annoying so again, I'm back at searching again the net for answers, until I found this thread.. Then I chance to found a mitsubishi forum with the same problem, although Outlander with diesel engine and realized that what my friend was telling me might be true afterall! Check the link and see for your self.. Also check the german post inside the thread (use translation feature of google chrome) and you can see how to do it as it has provided some useful pics.

Thanks for sharing sir. How did it go for you?

I've been complaining about this vibration at 1,250 rpm to Diamond Motors Greenhills and Quezon Avenue. It all started after the 1,000km PMS in Quezon Avenue and then I started complaining about it on the 5,000km PMS and but they said it was normal and it was the AC kicking in. I then shifted service center to Greenhills since it's close to work and they said the same thing that it's normal. I just had my 15,000km PMS with them and it's still normal to them. They even had a "performance test" done and it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Well to see if it's "normal" I just test-drove my officemates Montero Sports. We bought at practically the same time so that should provide the same results, right? Well her Montero didn't have any vibration at low rpm. It just drove quietly.

Are there any updates from other service centers on the problem?

I also have this low rpm noise in my 2018 Monty. Whirlwind sound around 900rpm.
