martix engine whine
Hiya
My father-in-law has the new 2007 matrix (1.6 petrol)(i have a terracan)and there is a distinct whining as the engine runs. is this normal? I have listened to others and there is a whine but not as bad. It doesnt appear to be getting any worse but it isnt improving either.
any ideas?

[align=left]Hi.
Regarding the whining noise from your fathers engine, makes me wonder if it has a terbo?
I have a 1.5 terbo diesel Matrix that does the same; the whine comes in at about 1500 revs
which is totally different to any other terbo engined car I have driven. I understand that the terbo's were designed by Hyundai and are called 'variable speed terbo's', whatever that means.
