we have a 2003 MO that we got back in august, have had no problems and absolutely love it. however, recently it has developed a strange whirring sound coming from engine that seems to speed up as you rev engine. any ideas what this could be?
Wow 97 octane! I don't think the VQ gets any benefit above the recommend octane which is 91.photog said:well i only burn 97 octane fuel, so i don't think that is it. it's not like an engine knock it's more like a something's loose kind of knock.
thanks for the reply though.

Lifting the MO and simply turning a front wheel by hand will generate the sound if it is the same as mine. You can also try to rock it in neutral from the front end and you should also hear the ticking sound. Keep me posted!
