VRS TFSI, 57 plate, cambelt due November. 19000 miles.

no modifications... yet.

I have noticed a whine from the engine which is most noticeable above 4000rpm. It does not sound nasty but to me does not sound right.

I've had a stethescope on the alternator and air con compressor and didn't sound to be from them.

Anyone else have this... Could simply be how the motor sounds. I would appreciate if on your way to work tomorrow you could slowly bring the revs up and listen for any whining. I can notice it at standstill and also when accelerating in gear. So I have ruled out the gearbox.

Many thanks.

Could be the turbo? I think a lot of the 2.0TFSI whine a bit. I'm sure I found a video of someone demonstrating it on YouTube, this however was at idle not above 4k revs.

I made a quick video with drivers window down.

or search YouTube VRS TFSI Whine

that link wouldn't play on my iPhone.

Sounds absolutely fine to me mate.

Mine doesnt make that noise!

Anyone else? Getting paranoid about it now.
