Whistling E220 cdi

[doc]

I get a whistle during acceleration and slightly while revving in neutral.
I dont think it is the exhaust.It is coming from the front right of the engine bay.
Any thoughts are most appreciated.

The reason I was asking the question re the whistling noise is because my wife also has a e220 cdi (same 2001)and it does not produce a whistle.Could the turbo be begining to fail.My car is still under MB warranty.
Thanks

As it is still under warranty then let the Dealer have a listen and tell you if it is going. They are a little prone on earlier models.
