Why is my Kia Stonic's engine making a whining noise?

I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and have noticed that the engine is making a whining noise. It doesn't seem to be affecting the performance of the car, but I'm still concerned. Has anyone else experienced this issue and know what the cause could be?

Hi Erica, it could be a few things causing that whining noise. It could be an issue with the belt or pulleys, or it could be a problem with the transmission. It's always a good idea to have your car checked by a mechanic to diagnose the issue.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Stonic and it turned out to be a problem with the power steering pump. It's important to get this checked out as it could lead to more serious problems if left untreated.

I haven't experienced this issue with my Stonic, but it's always a good idea to regularly check your fluids and make sure they are at the proper levels. Low or dirty oil can also cause strange noises in the engine.
