*vRS_octy*

Had the high pitched whine on my vRS TSi too (about a week after collecting it). Seemed to occur when the engine reached 70-80oC. Was about to head to the dealer but then it disappeared at about 800 miles (now on 1100). Found the odd mention of the issue when searching. Think the verdict was a secondary coolant pump driven by an accessory belt under the engine cover (see http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/189083-whistling-from-engine/). It was pretty annoying, hope it doesn't come back

Hi all, My vRS has finally turned up and it is a beaut! Glad I held on for it, 20 weeks wait and it seemed to last for ever. Order Date ...............Colour................................Body Type......Transmisson......Fuel........................Delivery 21st Aug...................Race Blue.........................Hatch................Manual..................Petrol.......................8/1/11 Auto mirror + lights, rear parking, spacesaver, curtains. It has arrived wearing Continental Sport Contact 2s (rather than the iffy Dunlops). They seem reasonably quiet and have been great so far in the dry and wet. Nice to be back in a quick motor :p
