    I attached a video
    Of the sound. I just had a lot of engine work like the timing and new oil pump done to it and this just started. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

    Sounds like a belt or a pulley.

    Hey there did you ever find the source of the roaring/whining noise you had? I have the exact same issue based off the video and I am at a loss!!

    Did you ever figure out the source of this? I’m having similar issue but it’s intermittent. I haven’t been able to reproduce it at dealer so they won’t help. Appreciate any suggestions.
