right,
i've got a slight whinning sound coming from the engine,

the whinning gets higher pitched as i accelerate, and a lower pitch as the revs from the engine drop

what could this be?

hopefully it isn't that costly Unsure

Probably something on the Aux belt. Could be either of the pulleys, or the PAS/alternator

Best thing to do is take the belt of and give everything a spin
