WRX 05. WHINING/WHIRRING.
Hi all.
My wrx has developed a whine when cold and when I lift off the throttle, when accelerating it doesn't do it. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car. I've had gearbox trouble with scoobies I've had in the past and whines and whirs have always got worse when the car gets hot. This one goes quiet when it gets hot! It seems very strange. I've booked it in to my local subaru garage next Thursday for them to have a listen, might be difficult coz car will be hot when they look at it. Just wondered if anyone on here have had similar issues?
Cheers

Jack the car up securely . Grasp the wheel at 1200 and 600 and see if theres any movement by rocking the wheel. Also rotate the wheel and see if it moves with any excess noise. The wheel could be hot due to the caliper sticking , so to discount that scenario, check while you have it jacked up

I took my car to the garage yesterday, they did a road test and put it up on ramps. They diagnosed the problem to be front diff bearing! Now I have to decide if I should live with noise and wait for the box to go wrong, get this gearbox rebuilt or buy a secondhand one.. Whatever i decide its going to be a bit costly!
