We purchased a new Aero a few months ago and are very happy. But recently my wife has noticed a slight whirring noise in the engine bay. It is mostly on the right side, ahead of the glove box. It seems to cycle on and off. She has turned off the Air system (all the ventilation) and it still makes the noise, a bit more loudly when just idling. I was wondering if this is common, or perhaps some pump (power steering?) that is beginning to tell us something. Anyone know anything? If something is going wrong, of course, we will know when it fails, but it doesn't hurt to get a "heads up"! All in all, a wonderous car. Thanks, Geoff
