Is it the same in all gears? i.e.does it vary with engine speed or road speed ? Is it there just reving the engine in neutral? Iff I drive the car with low revs in all five gears, the car is silent.

The garage isn't sure but think it is ...

I love the Peugeot 406 and have just bought my second one, a Rapier Estate. What would cause a high pitched whine on acceleration on all gears? There is no whine with speed, only acceleration. This is the final straw with the 'new' car, after a string of problems beginning with a six car motorway ac...
