Focus57 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hoping one of you great people out there can help me because I have an annoying fault which is driving me nuts!! Every time I hit the accelerator pedal I get this annoying squeak and it's getting louder and ***** louder!! My car is old and done a high mileage but am hoping its just something that needs lubricating am not sure!! I can't quite tell if it's the pedal or not any advice greatly appreciated and thanks for reading cheerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Does it do it with the engine off? Probably just needs a bit of lube on the pedal pivot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't do it with the engine of no! I have sprayed a bit of wd40 around the pedal and it made no difference unfourtantley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Ok, it won't be the pedal if it doesn't do it with the engine off. Which engine do you have? If it's a diesel, it's likely to be a boost or EGR leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The EGR blank gasket may be leaking a bit. The main area on the 1.8TDCi for boost leaks is the solid metal boost pipe, it often cracks at the bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
