Whistling noise when I acelerate

DavidWills · 2012-06-07 20:33:20

Or sometimes when I turn. Thought it was power steering fluid at first but thats nearly full. BMW 318 2007 anyone ever had this & might know what it is?

Does the noise change with engine RPM or speed?

It is present when you accelerate, and when you turn but is not there when you cruise. It's more evident when turning and accelerating

An air leak? Could be a hole opening when the engine moves from accelerating and turning.
