I noticed today some weird sound coming somwhere from a front, it's kind of whistle it's not very loud but i can hear it outside pretty well, and from inside with radio off.. There's no messages, when i turn off the car whistle continius for another 3-4 seconds and then shuts down. Going to service tomorow... What do you think it is?

P.s my car is freaking 10 days old. I really dont like it, and dont want another 745!!!

Shame Bob. I've had mine for the same timeframe and got none of your issues.

As for the whistle, try to keep your pet canary off the engine manifold. It gets pretty hot in there.

I dont think it's somthing bad.

haha the amount of E Class owners who get scared about this
I think they all do it, there isnt anything wrong with it. I've heard it on E500s and E55s.

"it's kind of whistle it's not very loud but i can hear it outside pretty well"

bob, i noticed this kind of whistle sound coming from the front as well and my car is 10 days old too, wat exactly does the whistle coming from?

BoBcanada

But i mean it's not normal at all... and it wasnt there before... I guess tomorow they gonna tell me what's wrong with it!

Does the whistle get louder with the revs? I mean you did buy a Supercharged car

tommaey

no he means the whistle that comes when u turn on the car or switch it off. It isnt the fan, thats loud enough too.

I don't exactly know what that sound is but i know you aren't alone. If it actually was a problem, mercedes would have recalled the cars by now

I'm assuming its a V8 thing, i haven't listened to an E320 or 240

FThornton666

Just making sure.

When i turn it on there's a whistle when i rev the engine up it doesnt get louder or somhing, it's just constant sound... really weird And when I turn off the engine whistle still going for another 3-4 seconds...

I'll update on it tomorow when i'll come back from service.

FThornton666

Slipping belt maybe?

BoBcanada

Ok just back from service, they said it's some PUMP ... Going to leave the car overnight and pick it up tomorow fixed, gonna post in details what they've changed!

Its nothing serious tho

tommaey

proving me wrong huh?

lets see if its actually fixed when u get it back. It probably will

BoBcanada

Its some circulating air pump or somthing like that, i'll post tomorow when i'll get the paperwork, but i left my car to change the part.

Keep me update. I think I heard that sound from my engine before, especially when the engine is still cold. Did the sound come right from the front (around the front grill)? Anyway, please post what it is. If this is something that affect performance or anything, I'll have to check mine to the dealer too.

Thanks,
