#1: What is this annoying noise?! Author: Jayde, Location: BrightonPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 9:45 am ---- Only started doing it in the past week or so, but when you're inside the car you can hear it pretty much the same as in the video.
The 180 has done just under 53k miles, and I don't have any paper work to say the cambelt or aux. belt have ever been changed, so I'm thinking maybe one of these.. But honestly haven't got much of a clue under the bonnet apart from the basics.
Oh and also, when you rev the car or are working up to higher speeds, the squeaking gets faster.
Sorry the filming is so choppy, friend who's filming wouldn't stand still

#3: Re: What is this annoying noise?! Author: Jayde, Location: BrightonPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:00 am ---- Was doing it before we started having rain, and nope, is there allll the time

plus if there's no record of the cambelt ever being done id get it done anyway
#5: Re: What is this annoying noise?! Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:17 am ---- Sounds like a belt / pulley / water pump, needs looking at ASAP.
I wouldnt drive it anywhere other then to a garage & at low speed.

Author: leigh_boy, Location: EastbournePosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:07 pm ---- mine used to do this but would stop mine was the aux belt but didnt bother changing it and did 8k before some one wrote it off for me. but ye could be nelt / tensionor or water pump either way it needs to be stripped down to identify it.
#8: Re: What is this annoying noise?! Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:10 pm ---- Power steering pump I reckon...
#9: Re: What is this annoying noise?! Author: Antknee, Location: ManchesterPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 5:07 pm ---- Mine sounded like that before the timing belt tensioner exploded

#10: Re: What is this annoying noise?! Author: lung441, Location: HONG KONGPosted: Wed Jun 29, 2011 8:25 am ---- Hi there, is this sound come from when you start your car in the morning ?(cold condition)
or just come out for driving a while ? (warmed condition )
Mine come from warmed condition ...and still finding the reason...
#11: Re: What is this annoying noise?! Author: Jayde, Location: BrightonPosted: Wed Jun 29, 2011 11:21 am ---- It does it it all the time, cold or warm. The only thing that changes is the speed of the sounds which gets faster when gaining speed/revving.
Hoping it's going in on the weekend and some light can be shed on it
#12: Re: What is this annoying noise?! Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jun 29, 2011 11:33 am ---- My gti 138 sounded like that when the tensioner for the aux belt collapsed, I'd get it looked at doesn't sound good
