G'day All.

My 08 Aurion Prodigy has started to make what sounds like a higher pitch whine on morning start up.

It almost sounded supercharger style whine.  

I grabbed a vid this morning,  which was a cooler morning in fairness,  but you can hear it , whilst not as loud as its been. 

Has anyone had this experience before?

 

 

Cheers for any advice, also the video is mirrored for some reason.

I remember starting the engine one Saturday morning and hearing a whining sound. Definitely new and not heard before. Initial thought was that it could be a pulley bearing relating to the serpentine belt. Further check revealed that it was the water pump bearing. Ended up ordering and replacing the water pump.

Does the sound change as it warms up ? I was thinking power steering pump and perhaps what Ashley mentioned with the water pump.

If you're handy, you could remove the serpentine belt and spin all the accessories to see which gives up an unusual sound.
