iwonder Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 My focus is a 2008 2.0 automatic mk3 model, and it has been making a noise in reverse the noise is like something dry and its loud and lasts for a few seconds OR it can also be described as a screeching noise (not engine) , i noticed if i steer the noise can get worse but that does not mean when going back in a straight line it doesnt make a noise as often it makes a noise also when reversing straight, and sometimes going round a corner fast it makes a similar noise but not sure if this is related. any advice will be much appreciated.

cuke Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi, does it make the noise in an other gear? By the way, if your car is a 2008 model, then you have s Mk2.5 not a Mk3, I guess a typo error crept in.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwonder Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Yh your right facelift model, theres no noise in any other gear, only when going in reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuke Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 HI again, do you think it could be the reverse band? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwonder Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Im not to clued up on transmission, is the reverse band part of transmission? Personally i reckon its from the front end but havent been able to pinpoint the noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuke Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi, you mean the front of the car or the front of the transmission? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwonder Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi, you mean the front of the car or the front of the transmission? Chris Just to clarify, the automatic engages in reverse smoothly. the noise only occurs when the car is going backwards, my vague knowledge is that the noise is occurring from steering or tyres such as brakes, as 60% of the time it doesnt make this noise, but other times it does, it was frustrating as i had a friend of mine sit in the car to listen to the noise but it was so frustrating as it wasnt making it whilst he was there.! he reckons the car had not warmed up sufficiently and he suspected the car has sticky brakes or something.??
