**********SEE MY 2ND REVIEW OF THIS CAR AFTER WE FIXED THE ALTERNATOR WHINE!!! We recently we got rid of that horrible whine from the engine!!! The noise turned out to be coming from the alternator and the idler pulley!!! I will make a newer video of this car without that awful whine in the near future, and the engine sounds GREAT!!! Right now the engine sounds better than ever, and it's as quiet as can be! It sounds like a normal engine now!********** CHECK IT OUT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK9ww7RyleE
For a long time I've tried to do a good review of this car, and I finally had a chance. This is an in-depth review of our 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora with a 3.5L 24V Twin Cam V6 with a little over 107,000 miles. **********One thing I would like to point out is my deepest apologies at the end of this video, somehow my finger accidentally hit the stop recording button when I was going to get an exhaust shot. A figured it would be easier to make another video that focused on how the engine sounds than to do the review all over again.********** ^^^FYI there are several times at the end of the video where I barely hit the rev limiter which is somewhere between 3,700 to 4,000 RPM.^^^ Watch Part 2 to get a better idea of what the engine sounds like!!! :-)
