My engine recently developed some kind of whinning or hissing sound coming from, I belive the front of the engine.
i have seen some threads about this in the past but no one wrote a conclusive answear as to what It could be.
I removed the V-belts to make sure the sound wasn't related to any engine accessories. Right now I belive the sound is coming, either from tjhe timing case or maybe it could be a vacuum leak. It gets louder with RPM, it is present in the cabin and is most noticeable when the engine is cold. I am running liqui moly 10W40 with MOS2 additive as we're approaching winter time. Currently the engine has 170k miles
Any answears will be greatly appreciated as I am at a loss here... Any further information will be provided. Thanks everybody.
I prefer diagnosis to guessing, so I'd use one of these:
But if I had to guess, I'd say something related to the timing chain.
