I just got my baby back from its first full service. I told them that I had started to notice a whistling noise from the passenger foot well under hard acceleration of up hills (ie when the engine was under stress). It sounded like a fan belt rubbing, a high pitched whistle.
Turns out that there is a rare 'problem' with some models whereby the seals around that area don't last, so the engine noise starts coming through. They replaced the seals, confirmed that there was no issue with the engine, and it's now perfect.
I thougn I'd post in case someone else had been hearing that noise and wondered what it was.
