The noise also comes with vibration especially in the steering wheel... most noticeable at 60km/h and above...more at highway speeds... at lower speeds most noticeable decelerating. It sounds exactly like differential whine when the gears are misaligned/worn... if you've ever experienced that.
The dealer is going through the 'flow chart' just like someone else posted above in this thread. Also each step probably takes 2 days or more with the opposite time zones like I stated before.
There was also a 'chatter' noise at low speed when using the accelerator. At first I thought it was belt slippage or a worn bearing on the alternator... but I am thinking now it's from the transmission.
I could be wrong... maybe it's just both wheel bearing failed... but I doubt it very much. I have no faith in Mitsubishi and especially Jatco cvt transmissions.
There is a guy on youtube with a cvt... not mitsubishi...nissan(jatco)... he changes the cvt oil with every engine oil change in order to prevent 'cvt whine' ... imagine doing that. Maybe that's what I need to do .... imagine the cost?
Any update on your car?
