Hey guys,

Happy New Year!!!

Upon returning from my holiday I noticed 2 things...

Number 1 - a minor thing - when first starting the car on a cold winter morning, there's a screetchy sound coming from the engine bay (right hand side) - sounds like the darn accessories belt - it's been doing a bit of noise since the Service Shop assholes spilled LDS on it when replacing my HP pump, but now that temperatures are droping it seems to be geting worse... What can I do to make it stop?!?

Number 2 - and please feel free to tell me if it's minor or major - at city speeds on soft right hand bends on wavy asphalt - not potholes, just long soft bumps that make the car's nose go up and down, like a boat taking on head-on waves, there's a weird metallic sound - like something is touching something else, like a short but intense grinding noise. It doesn't happen at higher speeds, just at low speeds - city speeds or below... What the hell is it?!?

Thank you sooo much.

Regards,
Sammy

Check the belt adjustment Sam, however it may be worn and require replacing.
