Squeak

[LiLiTaLy]

Anyone have a squeak in the engine compartment when the car is coming down from higher RPM's to lower ones. I heard it before but don't know what it is. It sounds like a suspension squeak like a spring but it's definately not because i only hear it at certain times. It usually happens in first gear and second gear, Any Ideas? I'm going to scheldule an appointment with Mazda here soon.

Are you sure it's not the bypass valve? Does it sound like a chipmunk laughing?

 

[LiLiTaLy]

it does sound like a chimpmunk laughing. What's the difference between the bypass and blow off valve?? I know what the blow off valve sounds like more like a PSSH. This is more like a loud squeaky noice??

 

[LiLiTaLy]

anyone?

 

[SpicyMSP]

the BOV in my MSP use to sound like a turkey. I guess that can be also called a chipmunk

 

[LiLiTaLy]

It's weird cuz i definately can distinguish the BOV from other things is just when im comin to a stop or coming up my driveway after a longer drive I hear this loud squeaky noise? I'm brand new to turbo cars so I have no idea what it could be?

 

[SpicyMSP]

are you in neutral when you hear this noise, or is it durring down shifting?

 

[LiLiTaLy]

usually downshifting, when i bring it into neutral it stops. Also i hear it when the clutch is engaged.

Its from your shifter bushings. Otherwise its your suspension bushings.

Well I'm taking it to Mazda this Monday. I don't know what it could be, I'm pretty sure it's not the transmission as it sounds like it's coming straight out of the engine compartment.

UH HELLO!
Turboge just told you what it could be

Go get some silicon lubricant, jack your car up and spray all of the polyurathane bushings.

 

[LiLiTaLy]

Ok first off I told yall at the begining that it's not my suspension because it only happens when the clutch engaged and all that, so wouldn't the suspension squeak all the time. And shifter bushings, maybe, but it's not coming from my transmission.

 

[turboge]

Have you been to the ear doctor lately? Also, are your shoes wet? That could be the squeak too, I had that happen the other day when I was driving.

If you persist it being associated with the clutch, check your slave cylinder rod that pushes on the clutch fork.

It's just hard to trust a guy over the internet who never heard the noice. I asked to see if anyone had the problem or knew of it? I guess not but thanks for the help.

 

[SpicyMSP]

He knows what you are talking about, or what he believes to be the noise.
If you didnt want help or advise , why did you bother to post this. Or waste our time? Over the internet .. pifflE* then AGAIN why did you bother to ask, this is the last time I offer up any advise to you

 

[LiLiTaLy]

I said thanks for the help geeze, did i actually do anything to you? You guys helped out a lot and I thank you. I just am going to bring it to Mazda so they can look at it in person. Am i not allowed to do that since yes i do have a 4 year 48000 mile warranty why don't I let them do the job?

 

[SpicyMSP]

im not saying they arent the ones who are suppose to take care of it. But you asked

 

[LiLiTaLy]

yes i asked cuz I wondered if it was common or anything to see if someone else had the problem and you guys gave me ideas which I will bring up with Mazda. But anyways we got off to a bad start here lol. Can we all be friends?
