Hi all,

I'm getting a whining coming from my engine every time I start the car. It is there when idle, it does not change pitch when I move up the rev range.

I would describe the noise as a low pitched whine, so still a high frequency compared to say, a growl or a hum, but it is low enough that it doesn't hurt the ears and a Grandad could probably hear it.

Sorry if that doesn't make any sense.

I recently had to put in a standard exhaust and manifold, to pass it's MOT. Not sure if this could have had an effect.

Any ideas? Car is a Type R EP3 2004.
