  A constant whine or whistle comes from near the accesory belt of my C3. I have heard this on a limited number of other C3s. My local garage ( not Citroen) took the drive belt off and ran the engine but say the whine was still there, anyone else come across this one.

Because I can't see how the battery can survive in the real world.
