High pitch sound when foot goes on gas

[whiteclaw]

Ya ha, a real high pitch sound of the most irritating kind when I put my foot on the gas.

What on earth could it be?

I sorted out the locks, so no ghosts in the car now, but what is this sound?

A belt which is a bit dry or something, it only does it when I put the foot on the gas, and then goes around 50mph when I ease off.

Like a screeching sound, the same when you walk in to a place with the cheap laminate flooring and your shoes are wet from the rain and you get that irritating screech.

Sounds like belt squeal! Squirt a little WD-40 or other lubricate on the belts see if the problem disappears. If it dose will only be temporary but you will know what to buy.

Happens to me sometimes too. Soooo, I stop the car and make the husband get out.

whiteclaw did you find out what is making the noise. Maybe you could check some of the things in this thread Driveing me CRAZY..HELP..PLS Hope you find you answer.

Sound is still there. I am going to check the mounts from that link you gave, but I can tell you, it is mighty irritating.

Thanks for that link.

Whitclaw, what year car? Stick or auto? What have you done so far, belt dressing, checked cables, hoses for leaks? Does it screech in N when you press the gas? I will help search and maybe with some extra infor someone might have an idea what to check.

Maybe the airbox sucking in air? Idk!

I am pretty rubbish to be honest when it comes to cars. I really don't know my way around an engine that well, and garages here are a right rip off, so my inspection is limited to looking and poking.

I am going to try later with the help of a family member putting car in neutral and revving engine see what happens there.

The car is 2001, Automatic.

Thanks all. Other than this now, everything else seems fantastic. I don't mind spending a few bob on the car as I got it so damn cheap, but would be great to really know what it is first, so when I do go to a garage I will know if they are trying to have me on. Or I may be able to do a simple fix myself.

I have managed to get a mechanics guide for the car, a service manual I think it is. Seems pretty detailed info in there.
