loz180691 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I changed a few parts on my car on Friday afternoon this is what I did.... Changed a autobahn intercooler pipe to a short pipe and changed my manifold to a ram horn one at the start it was fine and now it is making a sort of belt squel noise when I'm driving it is quite loud and does it between 2-4k revs. Any suggestions the only thing I can think of it all this snow we have had and possibly has got into my engine via bonnet scoop any suggestions on how to check or possible other things it could be would be great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 You got a boost leak ? Is everything youve changed properly tight ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corofin12345 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) gaskets, cracked manifold or its not sitting right on the head, 100% yes, ^^^^^^ these do sound like a squeaky belt Edited March 24, 2013 by corofin12345 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loz180691 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Oh dammit it was ok tho and started a day after it all had been fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Yeah defiantly sounds like a boost leak or a cracked manifold. Get a listening pipe in and rev it up you should be able to hear it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loz180691 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Rite ok maybe one of the pipes has sprung a leak I'm confident that the manifold is all good and bolted on correctly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danza V Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Take mani off and use a straight edge to see if it's warped Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryan lang Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 definitely check the mani! mine was out 1.5mm form centre to either end, and yes it made a whistling noise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Check the bolts that hold the turbo to the manifold as these tend to come loose, had this problem on mine at 2-4k hope you have got or get it sorted mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
