Mine makes a whistling noise when im driving at about 20 - 40mph, Its pretty loud when ive got the window down. I always thought it was a cracked inlet manifold or something similar. But im sure i read somewhere that they all make the whistling noise, not sure though.
I dont think mine has an induction leak as i persumed it would make a whistling noise when i revved the engine when the car was stationary., but it doesnt, just when im doing 20-40mph.??Wierd

I get this when the drivers window is open slightly or fully from 30-50ish. think its just the air going past the wing mirror. i notice it more since i had my wing mirror changed and this time there is a small nobbly black bit on the underside.
Think they all do this?....Quite like the noise actually!

cheers, yeah i like the sound its havin a service on wednesday so i'll ask them.
lol - its because reno are cheapskates - the drivers door mirror is a reverse of the passenger one - the ext. temp sensor is in the passenger one but the drivers mirror has a hole where the sensor would be. This causes the mystery whistle.
Yup, cue has it on the money
It's pretty annoying to start off with, but can be got rid off by a bit of tape etc... I've just grown used to it tbh appreciate it as one of the quirks of the car!

mine does this while accelerating at any speed, even with the janspeed on. wish i could diagnose it, defo not the wing mirror as only comes when putting the foot down. any ideas gratefully received!!
Yeah i think the whistling we're talking about is when you rev the engine. Makes the noise even when stationary....

yeah just been out again to have a listen, think your right it always does it, defo coming from the engine not the wing mirror.
Yep mine does both , with the window down when driving put your finger over the hole under the mirror and the whistling stops..but the engine does make a whistle sound when stationary as when I had my tracking done one of the fitters asked if it had a turbo or dump valve because of the noise :?:
Not certain but it may be the fuel injection

not noticed the engine doing it - sounds like it's wind noise maybe through the accoustic value or intake maybe...
My engine whistles at low speed but my wing mirror doesn't whistle at all............. :?
