I've had this for 2,600 miles now and when it's cold the engine makes i a whirrling/whoosing noise when it accelerates. I notice between 0-30 mph.

With it being brand new I wouldn't expect it to be broken, but I've never had a brand new car before or even a petrol.

I wish I could explain the noisre a bit better, but I just don't know if this is normal at all?

Why not take it the main agents new cars do break down and parts break.

Take it back.

Ditto, and ask them to go out with you in the car to listen to the noise.

Better safe than sorry. even if it might be nothing, (and take a boc of chocs for after in case you are hearing nothing untoward)

Daughter's B/F has one which sounds quite 'throaty' under acceleration - probably characteristic of being a 3pot.

If it's new and under warranty then just take it to the dealer and ask for an opnion.
