Default Whining noise from engine

I have a 2008 Tdci MA. Never had any issues with the car. But, over the last 2-3 weeks i noticed a whining noise coming from the engine - hard to place exactly where from. It appears to be intermittent and makes no difference if its cold or hot. No difference if AC is on/off or radio on/off (or if wife is in car). Doesnt whine when idling only when accelarating and also when its cruising. On a couple of ocasions when i shut the engine down you could hear it "whine down" like a turbo.

Took it to my mechanic and was doing it all the way there, and soon as he sat in the car and we took it for a drive not a peep out of it. When i left the workshop about 10 minutes later it started again.

Anybody have any similar experiences and suggestions as to what could be causing it??
