Just bought a MY59 1.9 Altea XL from a Dealer and I got a unknown noise.
Not sure if annoying "characteristic" of this model or something is failing.
Had a road test with a SEAT technician today, can hear the noise no problems... but no idea what it is or where its coming from.
Sounds a bit like gearbox whine, but its a bit of weird one.
Symptoms as follows:
60k on the clock. Car has just had service and timing belt done @ main dealer.
Any ideas??

Sounds a bit like gearbox whine, but its a bit of weird one.
Symptoms as follows:
- Whine noise only at 46-50 mph on very light throttle.
- Does it in 3rd, 4th and 5th (most noticeable in 4th and 5th)
- Doesn't change pitch with revs or steering.
- Stops immediately if you lift off or dip the clutch
- Not noticeable if hard on accelerator (probably as 46-50 goes past quickly)
60k on the clock. Car has just had service and timing belt done @ main dealer.
Any ideas??
