The sprung roller for the aux belt and the power steering pump can sometimes make a high pitched noise.

**t5 pete** · Thursday 19th July 2012, 20:13

you've gone quiet see you in morning soil coming at 7.30

If its between the airbox and the engine, its either gonna be the gearbox, the abs pump, or an air leak in the vac hoses.

I once had a high pitched noise on mine after doing the PCV, turned out to be the small elbow which connects to the end of the inlet manifold behind the alternator had a small hole in it creating a whistling.

Can you do a video of it?
