Few funny noises?
« on: September 15, 2011, 01:28:15 pm »
1) when pulling away from a standstill, sometimes there's a squeaking coming from the engine area, sounds to me as if it's a belt which needs some tension? Any ideas?

2) when driving over large speed bumps I can hear a squeaking/rubbing noise coming from the suspension. Think it's the front. Could it be the bushes or something else that needs replaced?

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

No noises through either mate, any other ideas? I would take it into a garage to have it inspected but than involves some mechanic driving it and coming back to me saying there's nothing wrong :fighting:

2.... Anti roll bar bushes over speed bumps perhaps..

Spray them with some silicon spray and see if it stops.

Without listening fella, that's a harder one to diagnose tbh

Do you get it any other times other than when pulling away?

I get the same noise when pulling away?
Comes and goes though - usually when I'm on a hill

No just when pulling away. It sounds like a loose belt but tbh it happens not that often. I can live with it ATM.
