    Thanks threedogs
    will have a look but dont think thats it . this noise is at about 2300rpm / 2500rpm some times might have to go 300ks before its there and other days 10ks down the road and if I put my foot down or back off a lot the noise will go some times the noise is there for 30k before it goes away outher times only a k or 2 , Its not getting any better infact I think it is getting worse . It sounds like squealing bearing or a wistling air leak , have looked for it many times and can not find any telltail sings of a leak . Its been making this noise for 20000kms , car has only 54000 kms on it , dealer not intrested in it much and Iv been told to come back when its there all the time .

    Check the belt pulley tensioner might be squealing every now and then, worth a thought
    EGR easy enough to tighten

    Basically your 4x4 is brand new with this annoying sound
    Thinking may need new belt
