just noticed, my mini seems to wine- kinda like it sounds like it a cooper s, but its more like the sound of the power steering wine, it does this when its idleing and when its going slow, any ideas?

Paul · May 26th, 2006, 12:56 PM

What age is your MINI? The power steering does whine, it's in it's nature. My former boss once said it "sounded like a tie-fighter" when I was parking my Cooper in the work car park. You hear it less on newer cars than older ones though, not sure what they changed to quieten it though.

i love the whine on mini power stearing

bigpoppa81 · May 26th, 2006, 01:29 PM

sorry to harp on but....

Wine is a drink. Wining and Dining is an evening activity, probably a prelude to
"ladies and gentlemen"

Whine is a noise - Whining is the noise nade by small children and MINIs

Please do not get them confused..
Thank you..

Adrian, sentences start with capital letters.

You do not use capitals in the middle of a sentence unless it is a name of something.

What is "nade"?

Using two full stops at the end of a sentence does not make up for missing them out earlier on.

Root Ginger · May 26th, 2006, 02:13 PM

Back to the thread, everything sounds normal bigpoppa81. You'll find the car makes the noise all the time but once you get moving it's harder to hear and gets a bit quieter as the system is not under as much strain.

GR33NIE · May 26th, 2006, 03:07 PM

Thats a normal noise, my 2003 does it. You can hear it especially when parking and going slow

Jah mini · May 26th, 2006, 03:46 PM

My 03 does it too. Is there any cure? or is it just one of those things you have to get used to and eventually actually start to like ?!?!

Mini Princess · May 26th, 2006, 04:55 PM

I think they all do it - it's normal.

04 onwards have a WHINE lol but not as loud

bigpoppa81 · May 26th, 2006, 09:13 PM

if my one makes a WINE

it makes you wonder what its like in a cooper s

puzzle · May 27th, 2006, 01:12 PM

The S has a different type of whine - the lovely supercharger hiss

never a bad thing

envy · May 27th, 2006, 01:23 PM

I wish my cooper made wine, i could sell it on ebay

But seriously, they all make that sound. One of the unique sounds of the mini, in addition to the rattles

Paul · May 27th, 2006, 01:24 PM

When we had a Cooper in summer 2001 it was worth driving through drive-throughs to get your diet cokes or whatever just for the reaction of a "it's a MINI", but also the whining noise it would make as you crawled around the sharp corners of a take-away.

Wtf!?! lol

MINI's all whine! like people!

curbed-them-silly · Jun 24th, 2006, 12:07 PM

Noticed a similar whine beeing made under the bonnet, brother thought I had fitted some kind of blower thats how good/bad it sounded. So tried to find a solution and it ended up being the air conditioning unit working overtime in the summer heat. Switch the A/C off and see if this is the source, if not good luck!

ChrisEvans1001 · Jun 26th, 2006, 05:49 PM

Oddly mine only whined for the first 2-3 weeks. I can't hear it now.

Pamster · Jul 21st, 2006, 12:40 PM

Just been out with my firend in her 03 Cooper and really noticed the whine!

My 06 Cooper S doesn't sound anything like a whine in fact it's more of a grating noise

Do you think I should get it checked out?
