Hi all
I have noticed a whine/whirring noise when the engine is running, it gets louder under acceleration. Its coming from the alternator/cambelt area but cant tell what from.
Any ideas before it gets booked in to a costly garage?!
Thanks

Re: Whining/Whirring
You could run it with the alternator belt off and see if the noise goes. Could be belt tensioner, alternator, waterpump,aircon compressor or power steering pump.
