it's not wind effect - like i said.....if i take my foot off the throttle, sound goes instantly. I hope this ain't an expensive fix...it's gonna drive me nutz!
yep i have an 03 5AT Euro and i get the noise on the highway when the car is in 5th gear , only when accelerating and yes it goes away when i lift of the pedal, its like a whining noise. No idea what it is but it annoys me lol
After some thought about it....only after certain speed...the torque converter locks up in 5th, like in any auto. Therefore this sounds like it must be a noise coming from the torque converter somewhere...? Sound logic?
The car doesn't make noise at any other time, during accelerating or slowing down...or after it kicks back a gear or 2 to overtake. Must be something to do with the final drive after the converter locks up.
Anyone with some idea of how auto's work - feel free to add your 2 cents.
