Lately we've had Alberta weather in Toronto.
The last few cold days (-20 or lower) my LX450 makes a buzzing noise once started. The noise lasts for a second or 2. I'm not sure what it is, but it is short lived.
- This morning it was -25 C and the buzzing noise lated for about 5 seconds. I'm worried that it a pulley that sticking and the belts are slipping over it until the belt warns up and can turn the pulley. Is this normal or do I have to check the pulleys?
- The tranny is turning, but I'm only crawling along. I guess the fluid is so cold the torque converter, well doesn't convert too well. Is there a way to help the tranny warn up? How about leaving the 4wd selector in Neutral and the truck in drive. Then reving the engine.
- The other thing is the parking brake doesn't totally disengage. It is most of the way down, but the light is still on.
- Oh ya, the door grease seems to get sold and the locks don't work with the key, only remote entry. The power antena does not come up and of course the windows are frozen.
