C300 Sports Sedan
Unhappy C300 (Sports Sedan -2009)

There's a whistling noise heard in the cabin (don't hear this outside or in the engine area). It comes on when the car is idling at a light. Generally, goes away when the car is accelerating. Usually don't hear the noise in the morning when the engine is cold. I started to notice the noise after a repair done recently; the brake vacuum pump was replaced. Not sure if this is related or not. Has anyone experienced this. If so, how do I fix this? Thanks, Kumar.

Try the w204 forum. Usually when serpentine belt needs replacing, you would hear screeching noise on idle or while accelerating.
