Title: Whining when accelerating in 2nd gear?
Post by: dadjokes on December 05, 2018, 08:26:15 am

Hi guys,

I've noticed that when I accelerate in 2nd, there's a high pitched whining noise that goes up in pitch with the revs. It doesn't happen in any other gear. Gear changes are all fine, DV was replaced a few months ago and didn't fix it.

What could this be and should I be concerned?

hi, have you got an aftermarket induction kit on?

Nope, it's totally stock.
