ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 27/05/05 04:42 AM Share Posted 27/05/05 04:42 AM I have had a noise that occurs every morning when I leave my driveway.It sounds like a brief fanbelt squeel (rubber on rubber), lasts about 1 second and only appears when its cold.I have checked my belts and they are find, but I think the problem is turbo related.The reason I suspect the turbo is that if I slowly drive away I do not get the noise, its only if I give it a bit of revs and the turbo spools up. I may hear it 1-3 times when driving, but once its warm I do not get it.Has anyone experienced this type of noise ?The car seems to drive fine, I have also checked the hoses and they are all on tight.

I tried spraying a little lube on the pulleys near the bearings but couldn't get rid of it. Took it to Ford and they replaced the belt under warranty and I haven't heard the squeek since.
