Poll: Who here still experiences the daily cold-startup high-pitched whining noise for about 1/2 mi?
I remember several of us had this issue where we have a loud high pitched scream/whine noise coming from the motor on cold startups until the car was warm.
If you remember, I even mentioned thinking a bum was screaming at me (I'm in berkeley, ok?) and we all had a good LOL about that.
Anyway, so do you guys still experience this? Do we still consider this normal? You can never show this to a tech because the car is always warm by the time you get there. My only option is to leave it there overnight one time.

Never had it on mine. Not once. JD had it when I was in NJ last weekend though!
Almost sounded wrong. But I guess that's what you guys are talking about. If I heard that from my car I'd be right at the dealer demanding an explanation. Weird.

I dont, however i am very careful about driving my car when it is cold
generally i get in the car and turn the key to the accessories postition (you can hear something moving around in the engine, i assume it's pressurizaing fluids or something, or just waking up the electronic elves)after about 4 seconds i
turn the car on and sit in it for about 1 minute while until the rpms drop down to normal idle (900 rpm) and then i leave.
I gradually work the engine up to speed, i keep it below 3k rpms until the oil temp is up, and theni work it up to higher rpms...
am i being super ****?
i know it sounds like alot but im used to it and im usually not in some super rush so it just comes naturally.
