GOT PROBLEMS OR ISSUES? => PETROL => Topic started by: Donk10 on March 04, 2017, 19:44:53

Been out to get used to the car today and it was doing really well until I had to reverse up hill a little bit, this was only a slight hill. As I started to go backwards the car started making a loud screeching noise from the front. This again happened as I parked the car outside of my house as I reversed up a dropped curb. I've already got a fuel injector problem but this seems new or is it related to that issue?
-
How does the clutch feel in general? Shouldn't do this on only slight inclines. Sounds more like a possible separate clutch issue to me...
-
Reversing on a straight or going forward is no bother nor changing gear

record the sound , upload it somewhere then share a link to it.

As tw2005 says, recording would help.
Very unlikely to be related to your fuel pump problem.
Poorly adjusted belts will screech.
I would check the 2 belts on driver's side of engine. Pull on them ( with motor turned off :Shocked:) and see if any adjuster or component moves. I suspect either alternator or air con compressor is loose and it slops forward or back when you are on a slope.

Just a little update, I've checked the belts and their both pretty solid. It doesn't do it all the time which is a bit weird. Just a quick question... how light should the accelerator be?
-
enough to hold the weight of your foot. Not too light. Try other cars .

Is the missus in the front passenger seat? :undecided:
