Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

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

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone have any idea what this might be? It's a 2001 C2. Usually this happens when I'm backing out of the garage the car makes a very deep chirp noice. You know? Not a squeak, not a squeal, but deeper "eeerrrrp". Maybe lasts a second or two, happens about 75% of the time I back out of the garage, less often just reversing out of a parking space or something (maybe the car has to sit/cool down?). Thanks for any help narrowing it down...I know for certain that when I take it to the dealer it won't make that noise on a bet...always seems to work out that way doesn't it?

POST 2Original post

Well mine does this maybe once every 3 or four months. Particularly if the car was left out the garage and it rained. I get it as soon as I start the car or if I reverse say a few minites after starting her. As I said it happens rarely. My dealer said one of the belts maybe slipping but he doesn't think its worth changing. He has tightened it to the recommended setting and it hasn't ocurred since he last done that a few weeks back. I wonder sometimes if it is in fact the BMC air filter. Do you have an aftermarket filter?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So on the suggestion on someone else, I checked the hydraulic fluid...and it sure seems like something isn't right. They suggested a possible leak, and there is one, but the result was a bit different than I was anticipating. There seems to be too much hydraulic fluid. Could this be causing the noise? I do recall at first thinking the noise occured as I turned the wheel to angle out of the garage. Do I need to remove some of the hydraulic fluid? If so, any suggestions on how? Oil is little over max too, but just the smallest amount. I'm guessing the previous owner got a little too excited topping off the fluids or something??
