My ST whines in second gear when i pull away slowly.
Sometimes it gets a bit louder as if its travelling through the body of the car.
If i give it a bit sport it doesnt do it, however there is a whine in every gear - doesnt sound anythin to worry about - only the second gear prob.

Any info would be appreciated.

nah mate - i live on a street wi speed bumps, i slow down for the bump, then slowly pull away an it makes the noise - i know the whine your talking about thought, sometimes it sounds normal, then other times it can get loud as if its travelling through the chassis.

mines does that as well...what youl find is that if u sit stationary in the car, and move the steering from left to right or right to left it will make a noise too...its the power steering pump. mine is going into ford to get fixed on wed. its an 08 plate with about 10K on the clock

If you sit stationary and rev the car freely I here it now and then, also in first and second gear.

Its kind of like a slight whistle, is this what yours is doing

yup - mine is booked in to ford on wed to get fixed lol

Do you know what is wrong if anything or are they looking at it on Wednesday
