General Car Chat / Possible Engine Issue...
« on: 22 December 2013, 21:17:10 »
Evening all. , Last week I heard a type of squealing/screeching sound coming from the engine at hard acceleration coming out of a roundabout only lasted a few seconds at high RPM (I really shouldn't let boy racers get to me), Also a smell of rubber coming through the vents briefly, It's probably because the heated seats on, heater on, lights on etc.. More strain on the Aux belt/alternator so it slipped a little ? That's what my mate thinks anyways,
That was last week, It Hasn't done this since, Then again I've been driving like miss daisy since then mostly , But on the occasional acceleration not as hard mind it hasn't made any such noise/smell since, Maybe those electrical gadgets are the culprit, I'd have thought the car could take it though. She's not going to be used for a week or two now so i'll see how everything behaves again then.
Probably nothing but thought I'd mention this in case others have had similar issues ?
If I don't get a chance to say before Christmas..
I wish everyone at OOF a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...
