Hey,

First of all - already had a good stuff discovered around here in "read-only" mode, now decided to ask one question since I recently bought '19 Leon ST.
Basically there's slight whining noise from around timing belt at idle, please see video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DcboEpxvBmLjgXoCjsNDtCs-sFL_sUfJ/view?usp=sharing
I'm in process of finding reliable service around my area, so meanwhile would like to hear opinions. Mileage 150k km. On paper full maintenance with belt, pulleys and water pump should be at 210k, so was thinking about driving until about 180k, but this whine is concerning. Or am I too sensitive?
