    My engine has developed a 'whirring' noise when I press on the gas
    pedal. It increases in volume the faster I go until I hit about 60km/h
    (next gear up) and then it fades quite a bit. Anyone have any idea what
    may be causing this?

    Thanx,
    Toastee

    What kind of transmission does this car have?

    Just taking a shot at it, but I would suspect that a noise like you
    describe would more likely be coming from the automatic transmission
    than the engine.

    My 95 SW2 did that. I had to have the Input shaft nut replaced.
