I know the Clios whine on a cold startup for a couple minutes, so we're all familiar with the noise...
However, after starting the car up after work the other day I noticed that the whine didn't stop! It sounds like it's coming from the alternator but it could be anything in that area.
Was fairly liberal with the WD40 on everything that moves but there wasn't any change in pitch or volume so I'm quite stumped by this. I did notice the tensioner has a very slight wobble, I'm unsure if this is normal.
Cambelt was changed in November / 1000 miles ago. I topped up the oil (elf 5 40) the day that the car started making noises - perhaps a coincidence.
If anyone has any ideas on what is causing the whine it would be much appreciated.
