yeh I don't think you'll find its a problem tbh - I know when a 1.2 16v is about to drive past me these days! :lol: Is quite noticeable, but I think its pretty much a noise that you have to put up with! | |

quote: Engine speed. I did 60-70 in 5th, under 4k rpm and no problems. Then i did about 30-40 in second gear (past 4k) and then it started whining again. (This was after i originally heard it, as i wanted to test it for engine/vehicle speed also) | |

Yep it's a 16v. Well im glad to hear that its not a fault of some sort. It's weird though, i can hear it over my music. | |

Is it related to engine speed or vehicle speed? | |

Is it a16v? I've noticed a few 1.2 16v recently around me that actually do seem to whine and also hiss a bit. A couple I have spoken to actually have air filters fitted too - these seem to be the ones that "whine" the most. So I may b wrong, but I think it may be normal :look: | |

Nope, everything in the car is completely stock minus the filter. | |

Recently I've noticed that a whining can be heard from the engine as soon as its revved. The whine is in tune with the revs, and is only noticeable before 2.5k rpm. Now while driving back from uni, i was on a long stretch of road, so decided to push it a bit. Now I've discovered that when it gets to about 4k rpm+ the whining becomes incredibly loud, actually louder then the engine tone itself. It sort of sounds like a Supercharger, but obviously without any of the benefits :lol: |
