Recommendations on auto stethoscope?
Trying to hunt down a noise that is coming from somewhere near the passenger chair (two dealers haven't found it). Any recommendations on a good car stethoscope / noise detector?

Is it a "buzzing" sound?

I purchased one of these over 25 years ago and it still works perfect. Easily pinpoints noise. http://www.amazon.com/Steelman-STE65.../dp/B000WNJ90W

Had a weird noise last week. Went out to Sears and bought this stethoscope and pin pointed the noise coming from the water pump. Took my car to the dealer and the mechanic who works on my car came out with the same stethoscope. Sure enough the water pump. They replaced it under warranty. All good now and I have this cool tool that only cost 18 bucks. Should of had one of these a long time ago.
