Hi all
I have a m8s car at mine when we start the car we get a high pitch squealing noise from the starter motor area. I have changed the starter and have the same problem on different starters. When the car is running the there is no noise only when trying to start the car it makes the noise?

Any help would be great as need it for sunday


Many thanks

Hi it may sound daft are fan belts tight or flywheel coming loose.

 

what car is it? does it have a dual mass flywheel?

 

Belts are tight.

only does it when it trys and starts ??

its a 2wd saph 89.

 

If it is only when the starter kicks in, maybe the teeth of the starter/flywheel are worn.

 

Maybe it is a inlet leak, and that once started the noise of the engine is masking the noise ?.
Normal noise like this would be the nose cone bush packing up/seizing, but not on different starters.

sorted now many thanks for answers.

Not belts was starter. There was a difference of 1mm on starter.
