Mystery for all you automotive sleuths out there!
'04 plate ST220. I've noticed a whistling sound today, best described as the sort of whistle you'd expect from something high pressure escaping from a small gap.
Doesn't appear to vary with revs, clutch, brake. Occurs both moving and stationary. Car drives perfectly, no strange behaviour at all.
Opening the bonnet, it sounds like it's coming somewhere from the right hand side of the engine, possibly in the myriad of pipes there.
My money is on the fact that I've got a loose pipe or a degrading pipe on there somewhere - what do you reckon in light of the above? It's too hot at the moment for me to go poking around, so I'll let it cool down, and if I can't find anything then I'll take it to the garage tomorrow whilst it's still an annoyance rather than an actual problem.
Cheers!
