Anyone notice a soft moo-like whine when you start up your Vantage? This normally happens with my car when the engine is cold and hasn't been started for a while. I noticed this on a YouTube video a while back when someone started their Vantage, so I assume it is common. Not really a problem, although I wouldn't mind preventing the sound if it's easy to do so. Beyond that, I'm just curious what it is.

I was told it is the oil pump relief valve. There is a replacement valve available but I was told it would be very expensive to replace because you need to remove the complete front suspension to get to it.
