I also have this problem which I highlighted on my 20k service. TCM tightened the belt but sound still appear after a few days but softer. Made friends with a guy driving Selphy during my servicing and he also highlighted this problem to the adviser.

selphy also have this problem?

The sound was still there but softer,felt disappointed with NISSAN enginnering.wondering how did the sound came about when engine is cold and disappear after hot? Any expert here can help to explain? Btw jus curious to know,does our latio have valves in our engine?[

I used to have this sound when i drive my old altis.
Only happen during the morning cold start.
Send back to agent and they manage to get it fix by tightening some belt.
I guess Borneo engineers are better at trouble shooting.

Lucky i dont have this problem for my latio

Guys i tolerated this sound since about 20K...it was worst when it rained heavily & i think rain got into the engine...anyway i did my 40K (@44K..bit late) & pushed for a solution. Solution =$75!! they changed the VB belt...cost like 35 & $40 for lab.

No more morning whinning sound for me.....

Technically the sound appears in the morning & disappears later in the day...only heard it bad when it was raining heavily in Singapore

Anyway...VB belt,...hope that helps.... i googled this saw an artcile on how to fine tune....honestly TCM may have a mechanic who can do this..but bet you 9 out of 10 times they probably saw the belts worn out & needs a change!!

Hi Sambal,

May i know wat is VB belt? My friend suggest to me it might be the tappet clearance which causes the noise.ANy views? Btw my latio have a 'gong' sound when i was about to stop and turn the steering 1/4 round for parking in MSCP,anyone have this experience?

Sambal:
Hermis,
I saw this at Nissan site

V-BELTINGS Benefits/Comment:
Properly tensioned V-Belt ensures quiet and safe driving as major components such as water pump, power steering pump, alternator & aircon compressor are belt driven.

If you google some results:
