06 1.5dCi Whining noise at high speeds - ubuntooler

Hi

First post so hello first of all!

Have noticed recently a feint whining noise above 2krpm. Not sure if it started when I was reversing once and the engine laboured due to low revs but is a annoyance never the less. I don't want the usual dealer run around - can't see the problem or say that is normal

It is noticed at higher speeds (50+) on straight runs so no ability to test on corners as this isn't an F1 car

Different topic...

My warranty is to end in a few weeks and am thinking about the renewal but not sure if I will keep the car as it has been the most problematic of any I had tbh but need a 7 seater. Does the extended manufacturer warranty cover disks/pads as they will need changing in a few months?

cam belt or aux (i.e. alternator/coolant pump/power stearing etc) belt sounds like. Does it squeek when the car is first started in the morning?

Best get it checked.
