Hello everyone,
Could anyone help with my issue, looks like it has been covered 100's of times but no definitive answer.
Brought a 05 EP3 2 months ago with an engine whine, so I have replaced -
The idler pulley bearing
the tensioner pulley bearing
Aux belt
Whilst the belt was off I thought I would start and run it but the whine was exactly the same... defiantly not the gearbox as clutch up or down there is no difference
I have a short video attached and just need to know, are these engines inherently whiney? Or should I be looking to change Timing chain/Tensioner/Guides? Possibly Valve Clearances?

Thanks in advanced!
