RS200 "whine" from drivers side of engine?



  UR Clio 200
Afternoon all!

Hopefully someone can help, took the RS200 out over the weekend and while parking up heard a "high pitched whine" coming from the drivers side of engine? Did this again on way home but sort of disappeared when applying light throttle.

Car had belt and dephaser done in late 2020 so didnt think would be the issue? weirdly has not happened since saturday :confused:

Are you sure it’s coming from the belt area and not the PCV valve making a noise?
Sounds very similar.

Sounds like you need to take apart the breather valve and see if its gummed up, I would think its that.

Cheers as i had removed it a few weeks ago i went out about 20mins ago and took it off again, there was a bit of oil inside but nothing horrendous.

Will order another tomorrow to replace and see how it goes.

I did manage to get a video, so if anyone can advise how to upload that would be great too!

I had the same issue on mine it’s been fine ever since I cleaned it out.
