I noticed the whining last week and I only have under 30000km.AZRoushStang wrote:Dropped it off at the dealer on Saturday. Diagnosis is an alternator and the Timing Chain TSB. A little pissed that the first dealer didn't listen to me on that, but what can you do. Extended warranty has my butt on this one so no harm no foul.
I have an 05 with 64k miles on it. Noticed that it whines upon startup when its cold (its well below freezing here now). Never occured before.Npath wrote:Finally got it fixed and would've cost me -$1500 if it wasn't for the warranty. Reason was the chain was slightly loose, causing the chain to drag on the guide.
Took them 3 days to complete the repair... kinda thinkin how long it would've taken me to do it in the backyard with my own FSM.
Mmm.... the whine in my engine can be heard when cold and hot. The dealer I went to said they've come across 3 others with the exact same issue.disallow wrote:I have an 05 with 64k miles on it.

Goes away after about a mile. I used my stethoscope and none of the front accessories (ps pump, alt, tensioners) are making any noise.
Called the dealer and they apparently have never heard of the TSB, so I will bring a printout for them to review.
Am I on the right track here?
