BMW E70 3.0d whistle when cold

Post by Stuboy » Mon Jan 29, 2018 7:14 pm

Hi all.

I have today noticed a whistle when cold.
Car is a 2009 E79 3.0d with 80k.

It disappears about 10 seconds into driving or after the engine has been left 5 minutes to warm up.

I’ve removed the air box just to gain access but you can hear the whistle.

It doesnt make this sound at all when driving when warm.
