Strange engine noise on cold start and then when changing gear, then it goes away !
Hello there
I have a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GX4 2.2 DI-D, 6-speed manual transmission, 45k miles on the clock.
It has recently developed a strange whirring noise from the engine which (after 2 weeks of investigation) my local Mitsubishi dealer cannot identify with any certainty.
The noise is apparent when the vehicle is started from cold.
If I were to let the car sit there running, the noise will eventually go away after about 5 mins.
But if I were to start driving, the whirring noise becomes quite loud when I change gear ... in other words, at the point when I have pressed the clutch and taken my foot off the accelerator. And then as mentioned above, the noise goes away after 5 mins driving.
If any one has any ideas or advise, I would be very grateful.
Cheers
