whirring

Recently my car has been making a annoying whirring sound from the bonnet. It happens win the fan kicks in when engine gets warm. I think the issue is the radiator fan, which is spinning fine but noisey. What could the issue be? any checks I can do? As for the part/labour? any idea on costs...

About a month into ownership now and I am thoroughly enjoying my 2004 E500 (W211) Most of the driving so far has been with Mrs and the little one on board, so it’s been Comfort setting on the gearbox and suspension and modest acceleration to keep everyone happy. Yesterday I had to do a rare...

Hey guys, wonder if anyone here can provide some insight into the cause of an unusual whirring noise from the front under heavy braking from speed. This is causing me and my mechanic a good bit of head scratching as we have gone through all the obvious and are now a bit stumped. The noise...

Hi, Only had my W203 220 CDI since Saturday and am loving it apart from a couple of things: Its a 55 plate coupe with 37k on the clock by the way. 1. There is a whirring noise coming from the front when rollling - in gear but no throttle. Sounds a bit like something spinning - quite hard...

Today I noticed, for the first time, a whirring noise from under the dash on the drivers side. Anyone have any idea what it is? Should I be worried?

Hi, I have noticed that after I turn my ignition off there is a whirring noise coming from the engine (bit like a vacuum cleaner). This noise was ongoing for several minutes until I turned the engine to battery standby and then turned off again. I have a V reg mercedes c220 cdi. Does anyone...

Hi I am getting an occassional whirring noise which sounds like it is coming from behind the steering wheel / instrument cluster. I know this is a very vague description, any ideas what it might be? Many thanks Tan

I have always wondered what the whirring noise is that appears to come from the engine when I unlock my car. Its a E270CDI on a 05 plate. Also when driving it sometimes makes a whirring noise normally at low speed and it feels like you can feel a slight vibration through the steering wheel. I...

I have now had my 211 for a few weeks, and am still getting used to it, but generally very happy. Quite a lot more electrics and automatic things than the 210, e.g. wing mirrors, wipers, lights etc. Speaking of which, there is one sound that I have not identified as yet. It seems to be an...

Every so often the Grey/Silver component with SBC on vibrates and starts whirring. Does anyone else get this on their W211? It can be quite distracting!

Hi guys, Once again i need you help with an engine matter. The car is an A140 on a 51 Plate and has just had its 70000 mile service. It was fine but needed new rear springs again. However, on starting it this morning it made a really funny whining, whirring noise which actually sounds very...

I recently bought my E220 CDI Estate from a VW Dealer. (The mileage was too high for MB to be interested.) The test drive went fine, but it was due an 'A' service, so I insisted on this being done before I would sign. It's a good thing I did because the service cost the VW Dealer £1,362.43...

Whenever I'm in gear travelling at over 1500RPM in my 98 W202, I hear a whirring, whistling noise which I think is coming from under the bonnet, as I can hear it with all the windows closed and seems to be coming from the front. If I depress the clutch, it disappears but re-engaging gears brings...

I have a a 2001 E-Class with Dual Climate and Comand and I have recently noticed a whirring or possibly a fan/pump type noise from behind the Comand/Climate area when I open the drivers door but before I switch anything on or put the ignition key in. I reckon it only does it in the morning/or...
