rah^ Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 So my fiesta mk7 59 plate has developed an annoying 'squeal' at around 2000 to 2300rpm! Above or below this when accelerating its not there and doesn't happen when slowing down. Also doesn't happen when not in gear! Do I look at a belt / pulley issue? Maybe a transmission related issue? Happens in 2nd / 3rd / 4th / 5th in the same RPM range It's only just ticked over to 52000 miles! Is there anything else I should check before I book it in?

philmatthews Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think I have the same issue as you. I posted about it here along with a short sound clip: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/63298-strange-high-pitch-whistlewhine-when-accelerating/ Is this the same kind of noise you get? My car is also a 59 plate Mk7 and has 51,000 miles so sounds pretty similar. I haven't got a solution yet but it is on my to-do list to take it in to the garage to find the answer once and for all! Cheers :) Edit: Mine is a petrol 2009 mk7 1.25 Zetec Fiesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazman23 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I have 58 plate mk7 fiesta, mine is a bit more high pitched than normal sort of like a whistle in lower gears, especially when its freezing out. I think it's just the weather as i had my car in the garage for something different the other week and nothing was picked up on test drive to do with the engine.

rah^ Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Finally got around to this! I'll upload the second vid soon To be clear it's had a new timing kit / belt / new aux belt / water pump My impression is it's the exhaust!
