Babe Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Had a REALLY annoying squeak which started this morning. Think it's coming from the front somewhere, haven't figured it out yet. Can only describe it as 'frog's singing' - drove me nuts driving back from Durham to Merseyside! Only had the car 2 weeks so don't know if it's anything to do with last night's foul weather, but it's been rained pretty heavily over the last 2 weeks and not squeaked then. Takes about 5 minutes to start, guess it's when the car has warmed up, and only happens when driving, not when stationary at lights. Any ideas?

supRo Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 does it happen when you're stationary, but revving the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I've never heard a frog sing... apart from that Paul Mcartney / Rupert Bear tie in song "We all stand together".. Bom bom bom. Bom bom bom. Sounds like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 does it happen when you're stationary, but revving the engine? just thinking this may help to eliminate if the sounds coming from engine or wheels/hubs/brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babe Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 Nothing to do with engine... its when the car is moving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 something to do with brakes? maybe when it's warmed up and the metals expanded???Do you have genuine toyota pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 It's a long shot, but it could be the fan from the blower? Had this problem on a different car, but it sounded very much like a frog singing! I know it's sounds stupid, but try turning off the climate control and see what happens...

carl0s Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Could it be dry poly bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babe Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 It's not the brakes, they are fine (or as fine as J-specs can be, and they're brand new too). Happens as soon as the car starts accelerating, seems to be inside somewhere but cant for the life of me work out where it's coming from.

AntD Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I know this is a long shot,but mine had a similar squeak when I first got it and eventually found it came from a loose bolt on the seat frame.Needless to say,it disappeared straight after I tightened it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 It isnt coming from the steering colum is it? as mine also does that and so did my Mk2 MR2 must be a toyota thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
