Hi
I have recently bought a 2001 tdi astra estate but it has developed a whining noise when revving the engine.
At first i thought it was the bearings on the alternator but after having them checked by my local electrical engineer he said they where ok, he suggested that it might have something to do with the turbo.
The noise seems louder when the engine is cold and decreases as it heats up although it is still there,the best way to describe it is that it sounds like a jet engin when it ia picking up speed.
Can anyone give me some idea what it might be please :frown:
