This started happening of late. New noise coming from the engine bay.

I’ve been bringing the car to a local BMW Technician, and generally been quite happy with the work; but would like second opinions on the source of the sound.

About the sound.

It seems to dampen/lessen when accelerating, and when put into gear.

Initially I noticed a bit of a leak coming from the rad and used radweld additive to see if it would help seal the leak and stop the sound. I thought a small crack in the rad could create pressure and hot escaping gasses could produce the whistling like sound.

After letting the engine run, I did notice the sound seemed to dampen and I’m pretty sure the leak is now fixed. Am keeping an eye on this.

Took the car for a long drive (two+ hours both ways)
and noticed the noise appeared to have vanished.

The sound has came back but I don’t see signs of radiator fluid.

Seems like the noise could be coming from the belt / engine block.

Worth highlighting, it seemed like the rad leak was spraying onto the block. So, maybe the rad fluid stripped something away causing the noise.

Is it as good as others suggest? Will soon be rating it.

Update!

Okay. It’s pretty okay.

It’s definitely got that creamy texture feel that Cadbury’s used to have (before they started using palm oil). I do prefer that milk chocolate texture. Overall, it feels like a better quality chocolate.

The taste is pretty a bit mid/average and lets down the hype. It’s not where I’d like it to be - a little “off” on flavour to my liking, and kind of on the sweet side (I know, milk chocolate).

Would I buy it instead of the modern Cadburys? A little more difficult to answer. I’m not sure I’d buy either again just to eat. One commenter mentioned using it for cooking, which is a consideration.

Other commenters recommended other own brands that don’t use palm oil. I suppose the hunt is on to find palm oil free alternatives.
