I did not have a whine when I got the car brand new.It eventually took me three trips to the dealer to get it replaced under warranty.Some people can put up with it, but it got to the point that it got worse and worse.Thought the whine was there because I had the wife in the car, but that was not the case.

At one point I had the radio at level 25 and that was blasting, I could still hear the diff.I am glad I got the diff replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told the guy bollocks.Anyways the third time, I got the service manager to go for a drive and he heard it. So I totally agree with you that they need to hear it.Just be persistant and bug them till they fix it is my moto.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when braking when going slowly sounds like a grinding noise kinda like the discs are out of round also the biggest thing changing from first to second gear just normally so like at 2-2.5 grand it crunches kinda into gear. Really alloying oh and the fog lights both are milky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
