Does the Diablo have an oil thermostat? 94-98 volvo 5 cyl turbo engines make a very very similar moaning noise like your diablo when the oil thermostat fails. Might be worth a mention to the Wizard.
I was thinking it sounded like an oil pressure relief valve making noise as the spring bounced the valve... An oil thermostat would be the same sort of sound... It really sounds like a typical noisy regulator noise of some sort to me!
I had a car with a Bosch fuel pump and it sounded exactly the same and it made the noise resonate and sound like it was in the door, might be worth a look 👌 p.s. it only happened when the pump warmed up, took ages to find out what it was.
I used to resolve NVH issues as a former exhaust system engineer. After seeing a few of the videos with the Diablo, I'm convinced the issue is a mechanical resonance issue and not acoustic. I doubt microphones will be able to locate the problem. You will need to place some accelerometers in the suspect areas and feed those inputs into some kind of data collector to find what area/component is resonating. Perhaps the cheap way to work this process is try putting some weights in the suspect areas to see if it changes as mass will affect the resonant frequency. So give up on the microphones, they won't help!
The Diablo noise is the air bypass release if it's coming from the passenger engine area. There's also an air balance system that connects both throttle bodies.
In terms of microphones an Omni-mic isn’t going to be able to directly locate any sort of sound. These mics in particular are of very low quality and I’m sure the accompanying calibration file isn’t that great either. While I’m very much an amateur car enthusiast I am a professional home cinema installer and calibrator. That being said using those styles of microphones to pinpoint sound pressure level output isn’t that feasible unless you can specify the frequency range you’re searching for as those omnidirectional microphones will pick up all sound in the relative area of their placement. For reference we use $3500 microphones to measure speaker and subwoofer performance in a semi anechoic manner and even at that price range they’re considered mid range.
@@georgeanddaddecker7563 Yes (weird, huh). Placing "mass dampers" on some suspension and drivetrain components is pretty common, too. I wonder if the Diablo is experiencing some engine mount resonance that's being transmitted to the frame/body.
I work in Automotive NVH, so here's something to consider about the Lambo noise: I see some people mentioning oil thermostats and fuel pumps, which absolutely could make a noise like this. What might make it WAY more audible from inside the vehicle cabin is if the vibration is on one of those lines that's touching the body of the vehicle @9:50. It can wind up turning that body panel into a 'speaker' for the noise. (think about how much more noise your phone makes when vibrating on a table vs holding in your hand) This would make the noise clear as day INSIDE the cabin, but might be very difficult to hear from the engine bay. If possible, it might be a good diagnostic step to try and prevent each of those lines from making contact with the body, or at least grabbing each one firmly by hand to try and damp the vibration/narrow things down.
It wouldn't make sense that it takes a while before the noise appears though. Sure some lines will get warm, but not hot enough to only expand by that point.
Interesting theory you have there, this would indeed causes a similar noise however as this is happening at a certain rpm even when this car is stationary this seems unlikely. If I had to make a guess I would say something on the intake side of things is not aligned quite correctly and at a certain pressure is acting as a reed. Failing this potentially the return line to the fuel tank is vibrating at a certain flow rate (think like pipe knock on badly fitted central heating)… A potential diagnosis step may be to check roughly what rpm this happens at and then guesstimate the frequency of the sound… if it happens at 3000rpm and it’s a 3000hz drone it’s something rotating.. but overall just let em get on with it, they have more experience than we do with this machine (I’m not just an armchair mechanic, I work for chevron in the uk and work rebuilding b8 and b17 engines)
@@cunningstunt9226 It just might be the cause, lately been seeing more people think that its the cause, but in the video he said it happens at idle but he had to get it warm before it started, so maybe it only happens at idle when its warm since the drive was a cold start

My doctor bought a Ferrari (but a Testarosa) back in the early 1990's. Looked fabulous in the showroom and in his garage. However, it frequently wouldn't start and, when he did get it started, and he went out for a drive, he'd arrive home and something would have fallen off. Not kidding. He got rid of it and bought a 1996 Porsche 993. Twenty six years later, the 993 is still on the road, no CEL, no rust, no oil leaks and looks gorgeous. Oh yeah, I bought it off him back in 2005. #My993
My old boss had a older Jaguar that was exactly as you described the Ferrari every time he drove it it broke absolute junk......To me a Porsche is a way better car to have if you actually intend to drive it.
Hey Hoovie, just ran a VIN check on your 458, it has an open recall as of March 22 for the Oil brake reservoir, you wouldn't want it.... burning down, would you?
That recall has nothing to do with a fire though, its for a potential brake fluid leak in the reservoir. Means he'll randomly lose breaks. Far more dangerous then it catching on fire though, because you can at least stop and get out if it does. Can't stop too well without brake fluid though.
@@stuc.6592 Except that brake lines rarely run through engine bays, especially close to hot parts such as exhausts. Still, a possible brake fluid leak is pretty dangerous.
Hey, Long shot because its wildly different but I had my hemi replaced in my truck and got a drone and it took hundreds of hours and several different shops but it turned out to be a pad between the intake manifold and the engine valley that was missing and that pad dampened the engine harmonics and stopped them from resonating in the intake manifold maybe your problem is as simple as a missing sound deadening pad or a missing heat shield. Worth a look
That pad is commonly removed due to a water saturation issue that becomes catastrophic failure after the intake manifold leaks. I've seen a few 5.7 hemis hydrolock because of it. It usually presents itself as a hole in the block on the passenger side.
A favorite description of Robbie Coltrane (played Hagrid in the original Harry Potter movies) in his 1997 miniseries Coltrane’s Planes and Automobiles.
Great idea with the mics but would it not have been better to watch a plot of frequency spectrum? This sounds like a resonate pitch at a specific frequency. In other words, something is resonating independent of RPM once temperature comes up and vibrations induce a resonate pitch. You would see a spike at say 400 Hz and one would have the biggest spike at the same spot.
@@muskokamike127 The pitch tells you if you are looking at the problem or just the biggest noise maker. The way they describe it is always the same pitch sound regardless of rmp, gear, speed etc.
I agree. Going by loudness only is useless as the engine is loud so how would you differentiate between the loud frequencies without an O-Scope ? A VU meter just displays loudness. I also would have expected the mechanics scope done long ago when they figured out it makes the noise at rest when heated up. No need to drive to isolate the noise itself.
For the diablo try changing the O' ring in the power steering pump, the o ring might have failed and is letting air inside the system, after changing the o ring you will need to top up the power steering pump and then keep on steering left and right until the noise is gone, I have a honda crv and had the same moaning issue lots of mechanics told me different and expensive solutions that will cost me thousands of dollars however after a long search all I did is change the o ring and the issue was fixed
14:53 some convertible tops DO have glass rear windows; it’s just cheaper for GAHH to just have one box for their tops, and technically you are correct that boxes with that message are handled with a little more care.
yer right ser, my Z4 got glass rear window, seeing other older roadsters with wringly, milky and overall ehh looking plastic rear windows I find it to be a good solution even if it added another 5 kilos on top (quite literally)
yeah, my reasonably cheap 1997 Pontiac Sunfire had rear glass and built in defroster in the glass. I bought it for around $10K when 2 years old and < 20K miles. Also had leather and power everything. No reason any car over 20K wouldn't have real glass.
11:20 Hydraulic press while heating the Aluminium would be a MUCH better method, especially as its a HOLLOW rectangular part - until the new part shows up
I had a car that also made that same exact sound and it turned out to be the fuel pump. It was loud only after it warmed up, which makes perfect sense in your case.
CHECK FOR A PIN SIZED HOLE IN THE CUMBUSTION CHAMBER!!!!!!! I read a comment from a guy that said he was a lambo tech in California and he said that this was a common problem in the diablos.
I almost feel like it would have been better to just fine someone with a metal shop that could cut out and weld together a new cross bar to be installed rather than bending and risking it being potentially structurally compromised. Maybe I've just been watching too much Superfast Matt.
They should have heated the bend and used a 2x4 as a lever to gently pressure the bend out, mount it hot so that it cools and tightness in place. No issues. Hammering it cold, very stupid.
My father had a 1983 Honda Civic wagon that after warming up will make a similar noise and it was related to the fuel pump. The car will be normal but after some, it will start doing the same noise. I think you have two fuel pumps on the Lambo. That is my guess. Love the channel keep it up and check mine when you can Daily Drivers Inc.
Have you thought about Radio interference? I used to have a stereo that would wine up or down with the engine revs. I stuck an inline filter on it and it fixed 90% of it except this irritating whine at about 3500 revs. Coming out of stereo speakers it can be hard to realise its NOT an engine noise....
Let me know if this has been suggested before!!**** I am sure you have heard it all by now…. BUT!!! Check the PCV system. This sounds like air being pushed/sucked through a restrictive orifice. If your creating vacuum in the crankcase sucking air past a seal can make a noise very similar to this.
Yep, that'd be my guess. Had a BMW do something similar when a bad PCV created internal suction. Similar moaning noise as air sucked past rear main seal.
That's why I pass on potential Wheeler Dealer cars that have been in accidents - they may look fine on the outside, but you never know what's lurking underneath. Generally nothing but headaches. And when in doubt, ALWAYS use the BFH.
that frame can be fabricated or one similar that is stronger and fits can be made either using bolts or welded like the stock one. I think guys that weld radiators can weld the parts and sheet metal can be laser cut pretty cheap. It would cost like $300 for the laser cuts parts
@@hakeemsd70m I want whatever these guys are smoking, the 355 aged like pure dogshit and imo was a regression of Ferrari styling, given the fact it came *AFTER* the F40 and around the same time as the F50 and still aged much worse.
Just as an aside, it was really sweet to respond to “can I take it for a spin?” with such a happy, eager “of course!” I dunno why but that made me smile.
Have you checked the engine mounts on the Diablo? That resonance sounds familiar. It would do it mostly at idle then find a specific rpm at which the resonance would be most notable.
Yeah, exactly what I thought. With a hammer you're more likely to create crush points at the impact site on an aluminium bar, as well as increasing the chance of shattering an Italian-grade piece of cast Alu. Press + spreader block would be my route of attack. Doesn't look as good in a thumbnail I guess.
11:20 Hydraulic press while heating the Aluminium would be a MUCH better method, especially as its a HOLLOW rectangular part - until the new part shows up
Eh, I think a press and some hard sheets of metal would have been much better to straighten that cross-member. A little heat wouldn't hurt either. Now you've got one that's 'straight' and dented in along its length. Ugh.
Having once looked into replacing the top on a much less valuable convertible, I presume the company that made the Ferrari's replacement top is named for the sound one makes when seeing how much their products cost.
OMG... My very first car I bought when I was 16 yrs is sitting in the back of the Garage. I still love this car... that Merkur Xr4Ti ..love, love, love it. Wizard... please show it on your channel.
Car Wizard and Magic Mike have got to be the nicest, coolest mechanics ever, giving Hoovie so much time and attention. Plus Hoovie always brings them an interesting (or at least profitable) project to work on. 😜
If these microphones can filter out frequencies other than the frequency of your noise, that would help a lot. As funny as it might seem, you need to eliminate as much noise as possible to find the right kind of noise
Look forward to hearing your Diablo with the Capristo. I just bought a Porsche 987.2 Cayman S that already had a full Capristo headers and valved exhaust. Love it.
I hate to say it but maybe it is something with the transmission. Maybe something with the pilot bearing. That's all that's really back there that spins when idling. ⚠️ Hoovie try this : Get the noise going, press in the clutch, shift to neutral, let the clutch out (with the car still rolling), then pressing the clutch again.
I wonder what that cross member would cost at exotic auto recycling, or if they even have one. I’d be a little worried about how much that cross member actually supports, but I’d guess at least Daniel would have a decent bit of working knowledge as to that aspect. Glad to hear your doing the annual service and under tray. And as I said in the previous video I’d familiarize yourself with the tech service bulletin regarding the unresolved brake issue with the 458 and the factory recommended procedure for using the parking brake in the event they system does fail. Dan over at normal guy supercar did a video on this issue. Just an informational note due to a disagreement a commenter had with me in the last video, just because the rotors, pads and calipers have been swapped the brake system is still Ferrari, runs on the brake system pcm and other brake components. The issue is with a Bosch part that fails and there is no repair at this time. Not being prepared can result in serious injury and loss of life.
I'm sure the Wizard has already thought about this but I'd be asking myself whether the Diablo noise is related to engine speed, road speed, gear selection or none of the above. I think you said it whines when parked so that SHOULD eliminate everything related to the drive-train and air-flow, which just leaves the engine and ancillaries. After the hassle you had with the Murci', I wonder about, perhaps, a pulley or belt that's vibrating at certain RPM. Maybe it'd be possible to adjust some of the auxillary belts and see if it has an effect on the whine?
news flash for the wizzard, aluminium can't be bent back and forth when cold, it cracks this way. Not a good idea. If you don't car about it cracking why not use a press instead of the hammer, it will give you more control
1976 and 77 Chargers with the 400 ci lean burn engine sometimes had an exhaust resonance noise. The factory approved correction consisted of a U shaped 6 lb. weight clamped to the right side exhaust pipe near the engine. Worked every time. Why the right rather than the left is beyond me. Chrysler came up with novel approaches to some problems.
The best part about these videos is when Tyler acts like a goofball around magic mike and wizard . They don’t have the same sense of humor and you can just see them rolling their eyes ! The best !!
I'm sure it's been said and you've checked it already, but that sounds exactly like a vacuum leak I had once. And it only started making that noise when the engine was warm, I guess because the different metals expanded slightly differently.
LMAO..."you're just gonna 'Will Smith it'"? Love the reference to smacking Chris Rock in relation to straightening the transmission support bar. LOL. Priceless!!
That howl at specific RPM's usually denotes a rotating assembly not airflow. Most of the time its an issue with the transmission. I'm no pro but Ive had that problem. If it sounds like a supercharger and you don't have one.... well... transmission.
Does the Diablo have an oil thermostat? 94-98 volvo 5 cyl turbo engines make a very very similar moaning noise like your diablo when the oil thermostat fails. Might be worth a mention to the Wizard.

I want whatever these guys are smoking, the 355 aged like pure dogshit and imo was a regression of Ferrari styling, given the fact it came *AFTER* the F40 and around the same time as the F50 and still aged much worse.
I honestly find the 355 ugly
@@samueljones3668 i agree. The 355 just looks hideous in my opinion
What a hack job, the bar should be straightened on a press and the mounting tabs can be put back into position using a portapower.
Sounded a bit like a fuel pimp or scavenge pump.
Try adding a Teflon based oil additive and a slightly thicker oil to rule out the engine
I love the word (and you have to say it in the voice of Jeff Goldblum..) DeeHablo
"will smith it" Love it!!
Just as an aside, it was really sweet to respond to “can I take it for a spin?” with such a happy, eager “of course!” I dunno why but that made me smile.
Have you checked the engine mounts on the Diablo? That resonance sounds familiar. It would do it mostly at idle then find a specific rpm at which the resonance would be most notable.
Only Ferrari ever fixed with a sledge hammer. Gotta love Hoovies garage.
Wouldn't a press give you a bit more control over the bending process?
Its a joke
Yeah, exactly what I thought. With a hammer you're more likely to create crush points at the impact site on an aluminium bar, as well as increasing the chance of shattering an Italian-grade piece of cast Alu.
Press + spreader block would be my route of attack. Doesn't look as good in a thumbnail I guess.
@@CarWizard you're not funny though
RUclips is not real my friend it's for the lols
11:20 Hydraulic press while heating the Aluminium would be a MUCH better method, especially as its a HOLLOW rectangular part - until the new part shows up
Eh, I think a press and some hard sheets of metal would have been much better to straighten that cross-member. A little heat wouldn't hurt either. Now you've got one that's 'straight' and dented in along its length. Ugh.
Having once looked into replacing the top on a much less valuable convertible, I presume the company that made the Ferrari's replacement top is named for the sound one makes when seeing how much their products cost.
Did he say 'exotic Fiat'? 😆😆😆Brilliant Hoovie.
Yeah Ferraris and Lambos are cool, but can we get more on what's going on with that Merkur XR4Ti in the background??
It’s on wizards channel
Called Sierra's in Europe, extremly fast sports saloon with race n rally history
OMG... My very first car I bought when I was 16 yrs is sitting in the back of the Garage. I still love this car... that Merkur Xr4Ti ..love, love, love it. Wizard... please show it on your channel.
I had a XR4I in 1984. Great car. Lots of space in the backseat , haha.
I love when Wizard horses around and laughs. Just the best!
He ran away from Hoovie’s clamps right quick! 😂
XR4Ti in the background! please tell me Hoovie bought it!!! Total hooptie purchase.
As usual, great entertaining content, thanks for sharing
Car Wizard and Magic Mike have got to be the nicest, coolest mechanics ever, giving Hoovie so much time and attention. Plus Hoovie always brings them an interesting (or at least profitable) project to work on. 😜
Wow thats a clean XR4TI, my dad had one deff a different car.
Love seeing your exotics. You make me laugh with the commentary, but each one I truly enjoy watching them come back to life. Best luck with them all.
If these microphones can filter out frequencies other than the frequency of your noise, that would help a lot. As funny as it might seem, you need to eliminate as much noise as possible to find the right kind of noise
@julian blake Pretty much, I just couldn't find the right words for that. Thanks
So.... a shop that works on everything from Ford to Ferrari does not have a simple shop press? Not that a sledge to the floor doesn't work....lol
Gotta love how when the Ninja asked if he could take it for a spin he immediately said 'Of course'.
Mate you notice the Cosworth in the background!?
@@psychotictactoe I didn't! I have noticed the Wizard has an Alfa 164 in the shop though!
Look forward to hearing your Diablo with the Capristo. I just bought a Porsche 987.2 Cayman S that already had a full Capristo headers and valved exhaust. Love it.
You guys are making me very nervous smashing a large piece of metal 2 feet from the bodywork of a Ferrari, you're crazy haha.
Doesn't the Wizard have a hydraulic press or a torch with a good rosebud tip? Yikes.
I hate to say it but maybe it is something with the transmission. Maybe something with the pilot bearing. That's all that's really back there that spins when idling.
⚠️ Hoovie try this : Get the noise going, press in the clutch, shift to neutral, let the clutch out (with the car still rolling), then pressing the clutch again.
I wonder what that cross member would cost at exotic auto recycling, or if they even have one. I’d be a little worried about how much that cross member actually supports, but I’d guess at least Daniel would have a decent bit of working knowledge as to that aspect.
Glad to hear your doing the annual service and under tray. And as I said in the previous video I’d familiarize yourself with the tech service bulletin regarding the unresolved brake issue with the 458 and the factory recommended procedure for using the parking brake in the event they system does fail. Dan over at normal guy supercar did a video on this issue.
Just an informational note due to a disagreement a commenter had with me in the last video, just because the rotors, pads and calipers have been swapped the brake system is still Ferrari, runs on the brake system pcm and other brake components. The issue is with a Bosch part that fails and there is no repair at this time. Not being prepared can result in serious injury and loss of life.
Wizard should have just put that crossmember on a press, and press it back flat.
I'm sure the Wizard has already thought about this but I'd be asking myself whether the Diablo noise is related to engine speed, road speed, gear selection or none of the above.
I think you said it whines when parked so that SHOULD eliminate everything related to the drive-train and air-flow, which just leaves the engine and ancillaries.
After the hassle you had with the Murci', I wonder about, perhaps, a pulley or belt that's vibrating at certain RPM.
Maybe it'd be possible to adjust some of the auxillary belts and see if it has an effect on the whine?
Seller: It was crashed into a ditch
The Grand Canyon: Hey, I recognize that Ferrari!
news flash for the wizzard, aluminium can't be bent back and forth when cold, it cracks this way. Not a good idea. If you don't car about it cracking why not use a press instead of the hammer, it will give you more control
Please ndi experts speak out. You have weakened the aluminum part. It needs strengthening welds to assure long term efficiency.
No it doesn't.
Why dont you run the Lambo on a 4-wheeel Dyno. Standing next to the car it will be much easier to look for where the noise is coming from
Hoovie buying a decent car? That's impossible!
1976 and 77 Chargers with the 400 ci lean burn engine sometimes had an exhaust resonance noise. The factory approved correction consisted of a U shaped 6 lb. weight clamped to the right side exhaust pipe near the engine. Worked every time. Why the right rather than the left is beyond me. Chrysler came up with novel approaches to some problems.
What happens if you throw it into neutral at that speed and hold rpm
Why not take the frame piece to a frame/body shop and see if they can pull it with a frame machine or hydraulics?
It’s nice to see, when all else fails, backyard brute force mechanical repairs prevails. The Wiz is the man!😎
I like that “merkur XR4Ti” I had one in 87. Great car. 🚘🏁🚘
I’m so glad Tyler is actually doing the under tray. A lot of others were also screaming to get him to just do
The best part about these videos is when Tyler acts like a goofball around magic mike and wizard . They don’t have the same sense of humor and you can just see them rolling their eyes ! The best !!
Hoovie: "I think you need to put your hips into it."
Wizard: "I don't wanna go too far."
I'm sure it's been said and you've checked it already, but that sounds exactly like a vacuum leak I had once. And it only started making that noise when the engine was warm, I guess because the different metals expanded slightly differently.
You're well on your way to buying the Wizard another yacht!
LMAO..."you're just gonna 'Will Smith it'"? Love the reference to smacking Chris Rock in relation to straightening the transmission support bar. LOL. Priceless!!
A new expression!
Taking a hammer to fix a Ferrari.
Jeremy Clarkson would be so proud 😂
All the best to everyone
Not if it was his car
Cletus McFarland too
"will smith it" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glad you are putting the due diligence into getting this girl taken care of. Great Hooptie find, and deserves to get brought back as best as you can.
The 458 is by far one of the nicest Ferrari’s ever made
Agreed, and the 458 is easily the greatest mid-engine V8 Ferrari of all time.
Is that a sierra xr4i in he background ?
Is Tyler a Ferrari man or a Porsche man? The answer: he's a hoopie man
Or a Lamborghini man
*Hooptie
I related to the BMW hammer. I am a potter and have a hammer with “QUALITY CONTROL” written on the handle and it has been well used.
I wondered when I'd see the Wizard fixing something with the BFH.
Btw what's a bfh
@@lilorbielilorbie2496 Yes sir,when all else fails bring out the BFH.
Is that your xr4Ti in the back Hoovie?
LOL, "We're gonna Will Smith it"
Why not simply machine a new bar, assuming a couple thousand isn't a show stopper?
Look at that stunning Sierra Cosworth 😍🥵
That howl at specific RPM's usually denotes a rotating assembly not airflow. Most of the time its an issue with the transmission. I'm no pro but Ive had that problem. If it sounds like a supercharger and you don't have one.... well... transmission.
that Ferrari almost sounds like an old F1 car. Excellent
The flat-plane crankshaft gives it that exotic sound
Always love seeing car ninja in these
