Hi, List,

I must say, being new to the list, I have learned alot just reading it!
I've tired to submit help when I've had it to give--I'm sure that the longer
I drive and maintain my vanagon, I'll have more to offer.

I have a question for the collective wisdom of the list, perhaps someone has
experienced this:

A whining sound (I've eliminated the wife and kids!) occurs upon
acceleration.  It stops when I let off the gas pedal and increases (in
speed-becomes higher pitched) when I increase acceleration.

Everything else seems fine- no decrease in power, no other noises, etc..

I can't really tell where it's coming from, though it seems most definitely
from the back.

Could there be an easy explanation for this?

TIA,
