Squeak noise from engine. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Quick question: does anyone else with a MT hear a squeaking noise @ idle and probably up to 1500? It doesn't sound like its coming from the belts. Probably around the A/C lines/intake on the driver side. You can't really hear it when your driving and the radio is on so it doesn't really bother me. I was just wondering if anyone else has that on theirs. My friend said he doesn't hear anything on his AT.

Was your AC on? My WRX sometimes does a little chirp when the compressor kicks in.

I think I know what your talking about. Every now and then I'll hear a high pitched whistle like noise. Idk what it is tho.

It doesn't sound like a tick. More like a squeak. A/C was off. It does it regardless of A/C status.

Yeah, I think that's the same noise.

What's up everybody! Just registered here. My Argento FR-S is my 4th Scion.

I actually came online tonight to research this exact sound... I heard it as I was idling in the garage when I pulled in a minute ago... I popped the hood and it definitely seems it's coming from the driver's side - when I first heard it, I thought it was a belt, but not now after taking a look...

Not to thread jack, BUUUUUUUUT: Anyone else have notice that when idling, the RPMs sometimes drop all the way down to about 500-550 and the engine sputters?

And finally, I've never had a Boxer engine before, and can't really tell what sounds are normal or not, which sends me into a pit of worry...

FakeWhiteMan · 06-05-2012, 09:54 PM

I know what the DI sound is and can tell the timing chain but I'm not familiar with the other noise. And yeah my car will idle at like 500 rpm after it's warmed up.

Could this be the fuel pump for the direct injectors?

What do you mean by "DI sound"?

DOes yours also kind of sputter at 500 rpm? I was near a wall and so I could hear the engine quite well and it sounded like COMPLETE SH*T at 500 rpm...

She's only got 200 miles on her and I've been over 4000rpm MAYBE three times, varying speeds, no cruise, etc....

Direct injection. It's a ticking noise. And its seemingly not that happy being at 500rpm, when I touch the throttle it sounds like crap until it's back around 1k.
