Hi guys.
Unusual random problem I think has started happening.
When pressing the accelerator, there seems to be a high pitched whine coming from the engine bay.
Its not there when at idle.
I cant seem to find the part where to rev the engine from inside the engine bay so I cant track where the problem is. Although my first though was something along the air intake? maybe a gap?
Any ideas?

I recently had the same problem, went away when my aux belt snapped though.... The idler had disintegrated as well, not sure if its the same but hope it helps.

bang some talc on your belts on the drivers side of the engine. squeeking is obviosusly a problem with rubber, so thats the only place ive ever had squeeking from, and cant think of anywhere else, so im 99% sure its a belt issue. so bang some talc on, and youll get a few hundred miles out of it, but id get them changed asap, there not deer, and not too hard to change
