Good thing to know just in case I get belt-squeal and changing the
belts doesn't help. :) Thanks.

Only the hood is out by about 1.5 mm on the front right, not enough
to cause such severe whistling, and doesn't make sense for it to
be around at cold start under 60km/h and at warm engine at around
80km/h.

It could be the sunroof....but I don't have one. :)

I guess I'll just have to fork out the dough this afternoon when I got
pick up my free 200T micro-fiche from the agents. :) Can that joint on
the valve cover that runs to the idle valve be had from anywhere else
apart from the VW/Audi agents?

I'll fix the hood alignment (if possible) and cough up the money for
the hose (heck knows, I don't  have a penny left...literally, the only
good balance I have is on the credit card, and that has a minus sign
next to it, the savings account has $60 in it).

Thanks. :)
