Hi guys! My dear old '82 900 GLE have started making a really unpleasant sound. I'm worrying sick since I've had her since she came from the fabric... She's like one of the family... :-) The sound is almost indescribable, but it's a kind of whining, and it never emerge before after the engine is warm. You can't hear it when driving, but when the engine is running idle, the noise shows up, going from pretty quiet to a crescendo of of whining, an it all takes place in seconds! I've tried to locate the discord several times, but it's pretty damned hard to say where it's coming from... Don't know if it makes a difference, but I replaced the water pump a time before the whining started (it doesn't sound like a defect water pump). Any suggestions? thanks in advance
