00 1.8 Engine noise - freespirit
I have had my 00 1.8 pug estate for 3 years.
When starting from cold I have always had a quite loud high pitched whine which disappears quite quickly , say 5mins, after it warms up. It is orse in cold weather.
Very worrying.
I had everything checked out by Peugeot main dealer when a new cambelt was fitted last year. They could find nothing wrong they say , but by the time they moved the car into the workshop the noise had stopped anyway I guess.
Is this peculiar to petrol engine pugs?
Is it common?
