Help diagnosing a problem
Hi guys,
Last few days I have noticed a slight issue. I have a whining noise coming from the engine bay. Seems to appear at lower revs and the whining increases as I increase RPM, however its not there throughout the rev range.
Doesn't seem to be from the engine itself, car is driving just fine and everything works.
I have tried the obvious things eg turning off the a/c, but that's not helping.
The whining is quite loud, and embarrassing!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I investigated this morning and established that the power steering fluid level was low, I have since topped this up and the noise has now disappeared and back to normal.
However, I have done some further research this afternoon and discovered on a VW Phaeton forum that a similar problem exists, however owners have reported that low fluid could be as a result of a leaking pipe. Is this a problem you are aware of on the Bentley?
Anyway, I have topped up the fluid and will monitor.
