Help screeching noise when cold? EK4 Vtir

[obsessionz]

Hi Guys my car is making a screeching noise coming from engine bay when car is cold sounds like its coming from gear box... once car warms up the noise goes away.. Doesnt sound like the fan belts either... its different kind of noise.. any ideas?

[englee]

Is your air-conditioning on when this happens?

[obsessionz]

no only does it on cold start... and when u rev it noise gets louder once warms up noise goes... ?

[teaseR]

sounds like the acc. belts/ (alternator, a/c, or power steering)

[bennjamin]

slightly rev the engine in neutral dude ~ does the noise increase or disappear ?
Ill bet accessory belts are worn/old/too tight too and the cold temp is amplifying this.

grant: this happened to my car too.. exact same thing..
once warmed its ok..

THEN.. ont he way to QLD the A/C tensioner fell off..

could be the problem.. but that's where im pointing my fingers.

theaccesory belts need to be checked

[TALEB TYRES]

yea i just had this problem, you sure its not belts? open your hood and check next morning.
if it is, get some belt dressing from autobarn or wateva if you want to get rid of the noise until you can get it fixed.
Some ppl have even used coke to make it sticky...

just replace the belts mate <$15/ea

[dupac->]

it's a really high pitched screeching

[delsol9000rpms]

yee tighten then power streeing belt... not enough tension on it.

[dupac->]

narh i think i know what he's talking about..

its not the sound where you here some shitboxes turning and u hear that belt sound..

its a very high pitched sound..

like the msg tone.. dunno if anyones heard it?

lol

cant descibe it

[obsessionz]

doesnt sound like belt noise ive had that problem before with other cars and I just sprayed or changed the belt... its a weird noise not 100&#37; where its coming from.. sounds like somewhere internally...?

Funny thing is didn't do it this morning I want to take to mechanic but it probably wont do it when the cars warm its one of those situations ..

Pop the hood in the morning then turn the car on and run to the front and try and pinpoint where the noise is coming from before it goes away. That should give you a better indication of what the problem is.

you will have to take it to a mech, and leave it overnight so they can start it fresh in the morning, and diagnose the issue. without a sound byte or vid, trying to describe it, will be like trying to describe your mother Cumming, to you it sounds awefull, to the other 99.9&#37; of dirty bastards on the net, it might get them semi, lol

^ ew sam :p

just try tightening the belts first, cheapest and fastest method
had the loud screeching sound before on my sisters eg, alternator belt was loose and spinning in place(new belt) and made a loud screech for a few secs and stopped
