| Squeaking noise from front? |
|
On a steepish incline on way back from stables at low speed there seems to be a squeaking noise from front suspension which carries on until car is back on a flat surface. You can only hear it with the window down though and it seems cyclical as you move slowly.No noise normally and could not reproduce it on a tarmac road doing a hill start.
Not a bad noise and it may be hard for a dealer to reproduce so will keep an eye (and ear) on it. Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on what to check.
The farm cat has gone missing though

Noticed that only occurs after EPB is released and car driven slowly, noise goes when going faster and noise from under the car not front.
Does this sound like the EPB needs adjusting? Car booked in at Lookers next week, might call LRA out if it gets worse.
Under warranty and car serviced in October, got a feeling they will try to charge me though...

Could be the EPB has something caught in it or its not been adjusted correctly / binding.
Could also simply be some grit / dirt caught in the brakes.
Try reversing and applying the brakes gently to see if there is anything can be teased out.
Also a very generous jetwash in and around each wheel, especially around the brakes. Worked for me some time ago when I had a similar sounding problem post off roading.
