squealing noise
« on: 14 November 2011, 18:02 »
hey guys,

my mk4 gti makes a squealing type noise for a second after i start the car, sounds like some sort of belt or something but i have no idea about engine side of things.

any help would be much appreciated.

cheers.

as above, get it whipped out stripped down and regreased, then hopefully that should sort it :)
