#1: Engine tone and squeaking issues Author: roakes, Location: Birmingham, EnglandPosted: Thu Nov 15, 2012 4:47 am ---- Hey all,
Need your opinion on a couple of issues with the car at the moment.
Firstly the engine tone sounds quite "throaty" almost like a slightly blowing exhaust but I have only recently had the entire system replaced and have since had it checked to see if it was the cause but it seems it's not blowing, so this only leaves the engine as the culprit. It's certainly not incredibly loud but very much noticeable, also I find that if I rev the engine while in neutral there will be a few pops like it's back firing. It's been suggested it could be a mixture issue but wanted to get an opinion before I take it into the garage, see if it's maybe a common issue?
Second problem is that I'm getting a slight squeal from I assume the wheels when pulling away at low speed, once I get past 15/20mph it goes away so I don't think anything is rubbing.
Thanks in advance!
Russ

Thanks
