If you're talking about alternator whine through your car speakers, there's plenty about it and no definitive solution. =-[

If it's an engine-bay thing or external sound, it could perhaps be your fuel pump or a noisy accessory like an alternator or powersteering pump?

hmm... getting deeper with warmth could even be your idler bearings that your timing belt runs over. If they're worn and haven't been replaced at a 100,000km service, they can get noisy.

hey cheers for your help man, but i dont think its nothing to do with the speaker sound, its more off the engine-bay, when i had my WOF done recently, the guy noticed a leak from the power stearing underneath? so not to sure if tha would make since to you?

check you power steering fluid, sounds like you may be running low

You should really be getting it looked at by a mechanic to work out what the problem actually is...Know one can know for sure without taking a detailed look. Everything makes different noises for different reasons. Take it to a workshop

    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
