What is causing a loud constant whining noise when the motor is started
What is your question?
KIA SORENTO LX not sure of the engine size. Started making soft whining noise occasionally now advanced to constant and louder. When you start it that whining noise starts doesn't matter if A/C or Heat is on or not. Gotten very loud. Afraid to take it, Cost is probably going to Astronomical.

What is the alternative to having it repaired? .. We can give some suggestions but that's it .. The drive belt should be removed and then the engine can be operated *temporarily* to see if noise is gone .. IF it is then all the driven components need to be checked to find the culprit... Suspect this is not going to be a DIY fix .. Good luck with it!
