Hi,
I get a whining from my the front of my 5.7 engine a majority of mornings when I start the car.
Sounds like a fan belt whine but not so obvious or ear peircing if you know what I mean?
Only lasts 5 minutes or a mile down the road and it stops.
I've had loose fan belts on other cars over the years and I know that high pitch screech you get from a loose fan belt and that a couple of rev's normally stop it, but this sound is different and it's not so high pitched?
Oddly if the car is in the garage over night there is no noise when I start it up? But if it's left outside over night I get the whine again 90% of the time?
Problem is I can't take it to the garage as the whine will stop on route and if I take it to a mechanic without the noise he will just take a look at the car, assume he can rip me off and then make a list of parts and labour with loads of pounds signs on it!!
Sound is coming from the front, thermostat, radiator area I think, but I can't pin point it, hence why i'm asking if anyone else has experienced it?
Many Thanks
