RenaultSport clio 182 CUP
Hi all
I'm hoping that someone on the forum can help me before I take my 182 cup to the dealers for diagnosis.
When accelerating hard, as soon as the engine reaches approx 4800rpm, I get a screeching sound which continues until I either run out of revs, ease my foot off the accelerator or change gear. It is most noticable in 2nd 3rd and 4th gears as these are the gears that I accereate hardest in. I cannot tell where the sound is coming from, but with the seats folded down (on way to the tip), it appeared to be coming from the middle to rear of the car, although I'm not sure. It is even louder with the windows down and I suspect that people would definately hear it as I pass by (Not a very cool sound when burning off Mr Chav in his 'turbo charged' SRI vauxhall chavalier)
Obviously, as it only occurs from 4800rpm upwards, I dont realy want some grease monkey spanking the crap out of my car over and over again.
I may be able to post up an mp3 file of the screech but not sure about the quality of such a recording.
I would describe the screech as similar to a wheel bearing on its last legs or worn out office fan (use your imagination here:S )
Any help or advice greatly appreciated ( I'm hoping it is a common problem easily rectified!!)
