Now that it has been getting cool out, when i start the car, it whines a little bit. Maybe power steering or somthing like that. When it warms up, it's gone. Normal?

Alternators can whine as well, haven't had this problem on my Q but I have had a lot of cars in my shop for service that had alternators going out that were making that sound.

Generally, I have no whine when starting up, unless it is very cold and then the transmission seems to whine.

Maybe for the first 10 seconds there's a little whine.

There was a noticeable whine a year or so ago, which was the alternator.
