Low speed squeal / squeak noise

Might be something to consider.

this is an interesting idea. i have an odd squeak that sounds like a bearing or a loose belt that just started, and its really around 2000 rpm. it *just* started and is consistent with the speed of the engine whether clutch is engaged or not. i do know its not the throw out bearing because that also makes a sound and I know how to shut that one up for now :P sound also goes away when its warmer out, but not necessarily when the engine warms up, just ambient temps. hopefully i can look at it more and resolve it on my own terms, and provide an update here at a later date!

I have this exact issue.

A squeaky whiny belt sound , only upon cold start. Goes away when clutch pedal is pushed all the way in. I’m bringing it to the dealer tomorrow. I will update as well

Hello guys, do you any update about your squeak ? I got the exact same issue since 2 days when the car is cold. A squeak around 2000rpm when decelerating, sound like a belt. If any of you found a solution, please let me know.
