VW Golf TDi Whining sound - Grease_monkey
My 54 reg Golf makes a whinning sound on start up after the engine has been off for some time. It can last 2-3 seconds or abit longer. I only noticed it after the car had it's first service. I thinking Turbo bearing which shuts up when they have got pressurised oil. Car goes into VW tomorrow for a drivers window that opens to 1/4 way when you try and shut the window if it has been opened slightly. Help would be great

My Passat always does that. I just assumed it was something like the alternator working extra hard initially to charge the battery or the power steering starting or the ABS presssurizing. Never worried me in 89000 miles.
