Soft "Whiiirrrrrrrrrrrr" sound!!!

[Guest heavenknows]

Hi, All. Just check if any of you guys notice a soft "whiirrrrrrrrr" sound coming from the front of the car when accelerating.

I noticed that my C180 now has this sound when previously, it was not there! Wondering what could it be?

haha that time i think i had a similar problem but after 5000k servicing, no more! i think they managed to chase the kitten away haha. its probably something in the engine bay thats blocking air flow. workshop people will flush it out! =) cheers!
