Only noticed this on Tuesday. My car is making a funny whining noise, that I could only compare to the noise a straight-cut gearbox makes. I've checked with the car in neutral with the clutch in and it still makes the noise, so I'm guessing it's in the engine somewhere. It's a 1.4 VAG (SEAT) Mpi with 31,000 miles on it. Oil level is fine, it's due a service and it's running perfectly. Any ideas what's making the noise?

It increases with frequency as revs rise, and gets quieter. When the engine is above 4500 rpm (redline at 5500 ) I can't really hear it, because the frequency is so high. If it's the fuel pump I won't be too worried because it'll be serviced soon
