These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I started the car this morning and reversed out of the drive. I engaged (D, Tiptronic) and turned the sterring wheel and heard a 'squeak'. Seem to disappear after the car has warmed up. Any idea what it could be? Its getting a bit annoying. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Is the squeaking coming from the engine bay? If so, it is probably the polyrib drive belt. Amongst other things, it drives the power steering pump, which will be loaded up when you turn the steering. After a while, the ribs become glazed, and they start to slip and squeal.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Richard, The sound does appear to be coming from engine. I had the Polyrib (Serpentine) belt changed when I did the water pump. Could it be something else?

POST 4Original post

It would be best to get someone to stand by the engine with the car stationary and the engine on idle, when cold, while you turn the wheel lock-to-lock. The pump will be working hardest under these conditions so you should hear if it is the belt, or something else.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard, Its back at Jaz tomorrow for the Sports Exhaust so will mention it to them then.

POST 8Original post

Have you cleaned it recently......could it be that its squeeky clean Sorry, couldnt resist.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Another comedian. It's okay you guys carry on.......... Serves me right. Lol I might set some traps tonight to see if I can get rid of it.

POST 10Original post

Lucky it's mouse, not a moose, would be a totally different noise then i guess [8|]
