My car has been making a squeeking noise since I bought it. It seems to only happen when i'm driving and press down the accelerator, especially when I jerk it (press and release the accelerate while in a low gear). However it does not happen when i press the accelerator down while not moving and not in gear.

Also it stops happening after i've been driving a while and I also noticed when it's raining it almost stops completely aswell. This could suggest something needs a bit of WD40, but I have no idea what. Any ideas? Thanks

More like loose drivebelt, all you need to do is tighten that up.

If the cambelt squealed, it would be slipping, which would mean bent valves.

I have the same problem, but I think it's something to do with the brakes, as when I steer left it makes no noise, but when I steer right it does, and then also when I'm using the brakes it's fine! :)

you should of PM'd me lol im a flange expert lmao.. Been living with this problem for ages, people tellng me its the drive shaft intermediate bearing... when it was in fact the flange flexing. How much did it cost u to get a new one m8 ?

and yes, the creak of the flange is enough to make your dick shrink on startup lol.
