Corsa D 58plate Sxi 1.3 CDTI - Whining noise when in 3rd & 4th gears - dave2013
Wonder if someone could offer some advice please.

My Corsa is making a whining noise which get high and lower pitched in line with revs only in 3rd & 4th gears.
It stops whining when I push the clutch down and I can't hear it in any other gears. Also if clutch is down and I rev in those gears whilst driving there is NO whining.
I've had no trouble in selecting gears and no trouble with the clutch.

The car is a 58 plate and has done 70k and only a few weeks ago passed a full service with no probs.

Cheers for any help or suggestions.

Dave

The only thing you can do is check the gearbox oil level, if its OK then its just wear in the gearbox which you can do nothing about without removing it. If its not ear splitting I would just put up with it.
