Chirping sound...

Post by rhunter203 » Thu May 28, 2009 8:51 pm

Was out tonight and noticed a chirping sound coming from the engine,
I slowed down and it stopped – I haven't been out since.

Any ideas??? I'm very puzzled :?

Cheers

Was it constant, only when on/off boost, etc?

Maybe the exhaust is scraping against something..as the engine moves slightly?

It doesn't sound like something rubbing. I reckon the guys who fitted the exhaust have managed to dislodge something. MRC recently gutted the precats – I wonder if they've disturbed the recently welded downpipe...
