Re: 2006 9-5 Engine Whine Posted by Gene N [Email] (#1094) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gene N) on Mon, 14 Mar 2011 06:24:39 In Reply to: 2006 9-5 Engine Whine, Philip, Mon, 14 Mar 2011 03:41:21 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Without hearing the whine, my first guess would be the tensioner or idler pulley. At 60K they are due for change. Next guess is one of the ancillaries on the serpentine belt, i.e., water pump, A/C compressor, power steering pump, alternator. Since the whine occurs at idle, you should be able to use a stethescope (automotive, of course) or a section of tubing to zoom in on the noisy component.
