   My 16v has a horrible whine kind of noise which seems to come with the revs, I thought it may have been the alternator belt as I previously had a horrible squeal which was the alt belt and thought maybe I over tightened it but after removing the belt I started the car and it seemed to be doing the same
   
   When it's idling it seems to be fine, but when I rev it the horrible whine noise goes with the revs
   
   I've tried this with clutch engaged too in case it may have been a clutch issue or something but it definately sounds like it is coming from the belt side of the engine
   
   My thoughts are that maybe it is the water pump? Any ideas or suggestions would be hugely recommended guys

   Video is always best
   
   What you call a whine may be totally diff to someone else
   
   The Cambelts can whine when too tight

   if its coming belt side and you have eliminated the alternator and such, the only thing it can really be is overtightened belt, faulty tensioner/idler pulley or the waterpump is on its way out.

    Cheap timing belts can whine. even if tensioned correctly.

    The ones with no "groove" in the tooth on the belt teeth tend to in my experience.
