This sound can't be normal.

last year or the year before, I've brought my car to the dealer to check out this sound. I even made a film of it and put it in the dvd player of the car to show them but they ended up telling me it was normal and not to worry.
The dealer's answer + the fact that it was doing it on other cars like in my posted video made me kind of forget about it...
mine does it when the car is cold like in both video and when it's hot, I can still hear it but very very faintly. You really need to be attentive to hear it.
I never had any problem related to this, the sound has always been the same. It's been doing this for 2 years now.
Even if I didn't have any problem, I also think it doesn't sound very normal that's why I'm very interested to know if anyone managed to find out where it comes from and fix it.

this is what i'm worried about this next dealer telling me..
is there anyway to check the power steering pump pressure, to make sure it's functioning correctly?
i'm going to be highly pissed off if this ****ing car's pump goes bad on me after they say it's normal.

solekeeper,
How long does it make this noise after start up?
If it goes away 20 to 30 seconds after a cold start, then it may be the secondary air pump.
After you start it, rev the engine a bit and move the steering wheel to see if the pitch of the sound or the sound level changes.
I will start mine later and check for a similar sound for you.
Good luck in finding a fix

car is at the other dealer, spoke to SA today.. said his mechanic ordered "a bunch of stuff" but he doesn't know what... i thought that was the idea of having an SA.., but ok..
he said he will let me know on tuesday. so this sound, in fact as most everybody thought is not normal... cant wait to hear what it is

There was another user with a similar sound that posted a video. Seems to be somewhat common.

Thanks for the info!
Did the noise completely went away now?
I've been paying attention to mine lately about this and she didn't do the noise anymore.
If it completly fix you issues, i'll bring back mine to the dealer with the suggested fix if I hear it again.

Hey solekeeper, I know it's a year old thread but do you have any update on what your dealer end up finding? Mine has been doing this lately. Steering fluid level is good. It doesn't do it cold starts, but it does it after restarting the car a couple hours after being driven. Thanks.

Thanks Celicasaur! I missed that reply. Also, found a reply from him on another thread I searched that after replacing the cam adjusters, the whirring sound disappeared. Gonna have dealer check my noise out.

http://mbonlineparts.com/parts/2013/...gramCallOut=17 part 17 are the cs adjusters.
