Whine from front end
Hi,
I have started to get a whine from the front end of my C30 1.6 Diesel. It pretty much started overnight. I've checked the tyres, one had a nail in it so got that fixed and also had the bearings and suspension checked with no faults found. The noise starts to become audible around 30mph no matter which gear you're in. I've checked the power steering fluid and all OK. Has any had anything similar that may point me in the right direction? Thanks |

finally got around to resolving the issue by opening the passenger door and asking the missus to get out.

Not sure about water pumps but from my experience on other cars whines was usually been down to, power steering pumps, gearbox, diffs or Turbo issues

Thanks Brimfull, I'll do some more investigating today. I had a fault on the car a few weeks ago that may well be unrelated where if I accelerated harder up to 2500 RPM it would feel like I'd hit a brick wall and the car would die. It would restart and drive fine again but if you done the same again it would die. Accelerating smoothly wouldn't produce any issues at all. I'm hedging my bets on it being the turbo but fingers crossed it's not.

It turned out to be a faulty actuator on the turbo and sticking inlet flaps.
