Hi guys new to the forum,
Got a problem with my 65 plate cupra st 280 estate...
On first start up of the day there is a loud brief whining noise but it wont do it again if you turn off engine and start up again you have to wait for about 4 hours.

Also ive had oil pressure warning come up on dash but it has dissappeard now and only come on the once?

Im guessing they are related, any thoughts?

Definatley the oil pressure light and not the oil level and only at start-up?
If a pressure problem at start up with noise then I'd look at the oil pump plus any oil non-return valve issue.
Sounds like it needs a garage diagnosis.

Thanks for reply, its booked into specialist garage on thursday 10th december to have a closer look, im currently not driving it just in case. It was defo oil pressure but has not come on since starting the car up again. Ive joined a owners club on facebook and put a video of the noise and apparently its quite common and normal on the ea888 engine. So who knows! Im sure the garage will diagnose any problems that need doing.
I did try upload video to this site but said file was too big.
Thanks anyway guys
