If it's a new pump it rules that out. Might be alternator or power steering pump ??

Penny drops. Check which way you tensioned the cam belt. If it is tensioned the wrong way, it rubs against the cover. You can either take a chunk out of the cover if you don't want to disturb said belt, or do it properly and re-adjust tensioner, but the other way. :wink:

Could be the girlfriend, although still makes the noise without her in it LOL. loosened the belts, doesnt seem as bad now though is still there a little bit.

I suggest removing her from the boot  :tongue:

Anyway, i had that sound when i bought my GTi it sounded like it was supercharged? Whinig that got higher in pitch as the revs went upp. I foud that the cam bet tensioner was to otight. So i just untightened it a bit and the noise disapeared. I didnt otice any difference in performance when it was/wasn't whining.
