My wife's Vectra (T reg, 2 litre petrol, about 70.000 miles) has started making an odd noise. The best way I can describe it is like the whine of an electric motor. It's slightly worse when the engine is cold, but even when fully warm it's clearly noticeable.
It is definitely coming from the engine: the rise and fall pitch of the 'whine' matches the normal rise and fall sounds of the engine and matches the revs, plus it is is present when the engine idles and the car is not moving.
I've never worked on a Vectra before and the noise is unlike anything I've encountered on previous vehicles I've owned personally. Any suggestions folks?
Cheers
