 Squeeky noise on cold start



Any of you every heard a light squeeky noise when you turn on the engine? Only when the engine is entirely cold and it lasts about 20 seconds. Then the noise is gone...

Am I just paranoid or might it be something?

My 3.0 did that. I'm sure a thorough search would yield an answer, but it was nothing of concern.

Welcome to the club. You can now be officially sure that you own a high performance car I've found that if I drive in reverse out of my driveway (about 150 ft) I can get the squeakies to last another 30 seconds or so while I turn around and proceed forward.

Check your water pump. How many miles? If over 50k watch that fan blade for wobble

Not to scare you but if it launches can take a lot with it. fan, radiator, even hood..

Have someone start the car while you have the hood open and are listening for the noise. Try to narrow down the area of the noise.

I actually have exactly 50k miles on it. I don't think it wobbles; it does make a little bit of noise but I think that's normal. You know, that typical 'prrr' fan noise... Kinda hard to describe
