lab44 Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Over the past week have noticed a squeeking noise coming from the car. Seem to have located it to when I press the accelerator but only seems to happen when the car is wet/not warmed up (havent decided which yet). The noise seems to be coming from the suspension but its quite hard to tell. Anyone else had any similar problems. I'm going to book it in but its going to be a bit difficult to show them since it only does it from cold so if I can give them any ideas before I take it in would be helpful Thanks Marc Quote
Stuey Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 never heard of that to be honest mate, my clutch pedal squeks every now and again but you cant noramally hear it for music... Quote
barns Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 i have recently noticed the same squeek, at first i thought it was when the clutch pedal was pressed but it is infact coming from the accelerator pedal, if you let your foot off and press again it comes from the accelerator not sure on the setup of the car if its hydraulic or cable type was going to ask when i take it to dealer next time.quick fix turn radio up B) Quote
Stuey Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 yep that was mine too B) I was going to have spray of WD40 but if you look there is nothing to spray it onto... Quote
wozza Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Had mine in for this a few times at the dealers something to do witht he exhaust apparently but everytime they fixed it it lasts about a day then comes back again. Quote
lab44 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Posted August 13, 2006 yeah ive had a hard time tracking it down but i noticed today it was every time i press the accelerator. Only seems to happen from cold though - once the cars warmed up its fine as far as i can see. Still least if a few others have got it its obviously not fatal and my wheels arent just about to fall off lol. Usually have the music up too loud to hear anyway! Quote
moggy Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 its the engine rocking. just had that prob fixed on my vtr, get the garage to lube, the bottom engine mount and the point where the exhaust meets the engine. did the trick for mine. Quote
lab44 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Posted August 20, 2006 thanks for that moggy. I will have to book it in when i get a chance and get it done. marc Quote
shawarma Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 never heard of that to be honest mate, my clutch pedal squeks every now and again but you cant noramally hear it for music...it seems every1 got the same squeeking problem even here in dubai, i had that noise when i first got the car, and it still comes again from time to time. i went to the dealership alot but they couldnt figure it out. my guess is that the noice comes from the car suspension when it is not warmed up.
