Whining sound

C|3R1C · 04-15-2014, 01:15 AM

I had my car recently serviced for random warranty stuff, and one thing in particular was an oring on the DCT transmission. I think they may have drained the trans then put back the fluid.

Recently, and I don't remember this sound before the work, I've been hearing a whining, electric motor sounding, whirling coming from what sounds like the back of the engine/transmission area. The sound is proportional to rpm at low speed.

Anyone else experiencing this sound?

Thanks for the reassurance. Maybe I just never noticed it before

No worries, It tripped me out when I first got the car as well, then I rode in a few other cars and realized it was normal. Now strangely enough I actually enjoy the sound lol.
