Hi,
230TE 1988 Manual
have had this noise with the car for a while, with the car having been serviced etc, so it can't be too serious. The garage say it's normal !!
...but it's not very pleasant to have people say they can hear the car before they see it.!! You can't hear it with the windows closed, but when you open them, and especially if alongside a wall or something to bounce the noise back.
It's like a bearing, but not a whine, and changes with engine revs. First thing on a cold start it is not present, but increases as the engine and other parts warms up. Could it be one of the pumps running off the fan-belt or fan-belt pulleys?
Any ideas?
Thx
