    I've just discovered the list price of one of these! Well the 630, I assume the 640 is even higher?:eek::eek::eek: It's the Gran Coupe that I saw.

    Anyone know where a whine like sound would be coming from in a Yaris? I was thinking the alternator belt and a poster on another forum mentioned it might be just the belt's sound coming through the speakers as sometimes the wires aren't very well grounded for them.

    Like a mechanical "wirrr" or a squeal?
    Could be the power steering pump?

    It's like a mechanical whirr but I don't think it's the pump as it seems to get louder as you accelerate and go away when they go down/you clutch.

    Don't think so, seems fine power so far, there's no intermittent power loss either.

    What's it sound like, is it a screech that gets worse, and what's it like when you brake?

    It sounds like a high pitch whistle. It only happens when the engine revs. The car sounds completely normal when I brake.

    I was initially thinking crank sensor but that's out due to the lack of power loss, and bearings are out too as you'd hear them more if you brake.

    I've no idea beyond that sorry apart from to say it must be something related to the engine, but I don't know enough to suggest what. The experts will be on soon enough though :) Did you not hear it on your test drive of the car?

    I never test drove it, it was a surprise from my folks. It was looked at by a neighbour who's a very competent mechanic but I assume he didn't test it. I am going to get him to take a look at it during the week and see whats what.

    Does it happen when you rev in neutral at standstill or only when moving?

    Could be one for TOC to answer.
    Although, I do know MIVEC Lancers can have a similar problem which requires a new sensor of some sort. Vague I know, sorry. :o

    Is the car sluggish after about 4k RPM?
