Danny1589 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi im new to this forum. And hopefully you guys and girls can help. I have a 1.25 ford fiesta zetech 65plate and its done 19k miles. Since its been cold when i start the car in the morning and set off when i rev the car and accelerate i hear a high pitch noise like a dentists drill from somewhere on the passenger side. It generally only lasts untill the car warms up so a few minutes. Is this normal? Or do i need to do something? Many thanks. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Dont know if its normal but my wifes 65 plate 1.25 does it too. Its fairly faint though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny1589 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 When i googled it a lot of stuff came up so i think its fairly common. When it happens the radio is also mega quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure mine is coming from under the bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny1589 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 The radio goes quiet untill the car warms up. Once the car is up to temp it stops and radio returns to normal. It sounds like it is coming from under the glove box area ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe video it to show them. Radio should only ever automatically drop in volume with parking sensors or sat nav voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny1589 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Any idea what it could be alex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Electrical gremlin, possibly a poor connection suffering from condensation? It's under warranty so Ford should sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
