As of recently, seems like my '12 golf with 5sp and electric steering has developed a whining noise coming from what seems is the passenger side. In cabin it sounds almost electric but not as high pitched. It follows the rpms not driving speed, so it can be reproduced while in neutral and revving. Just had lower idler pulley replaced because it was wobbling a little bit. From outside the engine just sounds quite loud and it's not because of the exhaust. Anyone experience this before? Any tips are welcome and appreciated!
