Whining Noise

Post by Guernsey70 » Mon Jul 30, 2018 9:18 pm

Newbie question,

I just had a look under the bonnet after a short drive (was checking out kidney removal) and heard a whining / sort of spinning noise coming from under the BMW plastic cover that covers the engine.

Is this normal / could it be turbo related?

Thanks

More likely to be a pulley?

Try removing small child from back seat. Stopped the whining noise in my car.

It'll be allright in the end. If it isn't allright it isn't the end

It worked better for me removing the old bag in the front seat :))
