Another mouse noise

Postby Fox » Sun 28.07.2013, 15:38

I have a noise which sounds like a mouse squeaking when turbo boost first comes on during acceleration, it just
lasts a second or two.
It started after I did an oil change using Valvoline Synpower 5W-30.
Any ideas?

sorry I cant be of much help about the squeal but the oil sounds a bit thin.....
0w 40 is more common........

Are your intake hose clamps tight?
Alternator/PAS belt tension?

Hey Fox, come on surely you can deal with a mouse . . no? Kick back and send in a cat :-D

If the puss can't hack it, check out your belts as Simon says.

Mine squeaked at certain revs when I got it and it turned out to be the PAS metal pipes.

Thanks for your help fellas.

The oil was supplied by SW Lotus Centre. I'll check the belts, just thought it could be the turbo.
