I have an annoying whistling noise from the engine compartment upon each and every startup. The dealership has told me that this is inherent in all G8 GT’s and that it is perfectly normal. Is there anything I can do to eliminate this noise?

That should be easy enough to locate and fix.

Pop the hood and look and listen while someone ELSE starts the engine.
