2006 Accord i-CTDI
A few days ago my 2006 diesel accord started making a funny sound whilst the engine is running. It is a whirring noise, almost like a decelerating sound and the more you rev the louder it gets.

I also noticed that the car struggles and shudders on cold start-up, although i'm not sure this is 100% related.

I've attached links to videos of both the above... Any ideas? I've tried to research as best I could and the most similar problems seem to be either bearings or to do with the belt but it's hard to pin down the distinctive sound. I'm not sure if it's a common problem or just a general fault. The car is serviced yearly (last service September)

Any suggestions welcome, as I can't get my car to a mechanic until after the holidays and want to know if I can still drive it before then. Thanks

Hi Luke and welcome to TypeAccord.

I can't be sure about the noise. But - in general - when a sound suddenly appears (or changes) then I would avoid using the car, if possible.
