squeaking!



  clio sport 172


I have recently noticed a squeaking noise from my 53plate 172. I happens after accelerating when easing off the throttle. Has anyone else come across this problem or just me :(

Also, i washed my car yesterday and noticed tiny speckles of rust on the N/S rear quarter....anyone else noticed of just me?

Cheers

Could you only be hearing the squeeking when you let off the throttle? If so it could be a gearbox mount.

My guess its some rubber support either the suspension ones or the engine/gearbox ones. Renault should be able to find out which ones it is.

JAY172 was saying that all 172 were/are hand painted so that where the fault is the car should have a couple of yrs anti corrosion warently with it so Id let Renault have a look I cannot see how that sort of rust is down to how the car is treated so it probably a manurfactures defect. Have you tried polishing it out it could just be light scratching.

Sounds like the driveshaft on my old 205 GTi, probably not but thats what happend with it, off the throttle and squeaking which eventually became grinding.

you get 12 years anti corrosion warranty i think.
Is that only the new ones as the previous owner of my valver took out an extended 8 year anti corrosion warrenty!

Is this from new or when the original anti corrosion warrenty runs out! If they came with an original anti corrosion warrenty that is!!
