With little over 11K miles on my 15 Macan S, I have been noticing a loud whining noise during cold start (it does not do it all the times) and it sounds just like a power steering pumps that is low on fluid. This noise lasts for a second during cold starts. Dealer says it is normal as the sound I am hearing is engine oil being pumped to upper section of the engine. There is also second noise from AC compressor which I hear more frequently while the engine is idling or stopped. As soon as I turn the AC off, the noise is gone. Have taken it to dealer twice for both noises but dealer can not duplicate the noises. All recalls have been performed.
