Got a squeeky soun dcoming when im acclerating. what can be the cause? it mainly does it from first till third. its an escort mk4 with a 1097cc kent engine.

I need to change a bellow, not of the shafts, other, maybe that a steering linkage??! maybe its coming from there

 

The Kent 1097cc is a small mouse in a wheel connected to the output, it mite be tired?

 

knew someone would say that lol.


Someone have any ideas? apart from mice in me engine lol

 

Check the engine and gearbox mounts

 

will do. can it be the belt aswell?

 

Is it a quick squeak or a sreech?

 

last maybe 2-3 seconds!

 

Does it squeak if you put it in gear and bring the clutch up to the bite point?

 

didnt take notice. it does it for example when it is in second gear and you put it in third and accelarating.

 

Try it out

 

so I will put it in first gear and keep it at the biting point? if it does it can it be that the clutch is fooked?

 

sounds like belt to me, put some wd-40 on it, then go for a drive to warm it up, cos wd-40 can preish rubber aparntly lol, but if you drive it for a bit it burns off so will be fine

 

will do mate aswell cheers

 

I've a funny feeling it's a trust washer making the belt squeck when the engine is under load
