Hi guys, two things that have started happening so hoping someone has experienced them.
Firstly, on first start (so cold) while accelerating car sounds like screaming when you would normally hear a whistling. Goes after 10 secs or so and only on first start up.
Hoping maybe a small hole in boost pipe and not the turbo starting to fail!
Also got the "Turkey gobbling" noise back maybe connected?
Second I noticed at mcdonalds drive thru. Window down to pay and pressing brake pedal can hear a noise like a creaking spring. This doesnt go away only when i wind window up lol.
Cars going in for first mot tomorrow and the warranty is up on the 21st March.

I get the spring noise when wet just learned to ignore it till I can be ****d to into it.
Thanks tucpal.
I've had the turkey noise last year and they replaced fuel pipe and filter.
I'm more concerned about the screaming noise from cold start as it goes after a few seconds, chances of them hearing it is almost nil. And if they don't hear it - it isn't there!!
If I complain about the noise before warranty is up, then say a month or so later develops into something serious, will they fix it?

Can you get a video of it but when you do make sure the video contains your reg number at the start and end also is louder in the car on outside, If out side open the bonnet and focus on the engine bay then you have video proof of the noise which you then put onto a DVD for them to watch works wonders chucking a video at them.
The noise is whilst accelerating from first to second and slightly when in third. Then goes away until another day. I'm going to take the kids to school so I'll get a vid in a bit.
It doesn't make a noise when idling as I'd have heard it whilst waiting for the windscreen to defrost. Wish I could hear it idling the. I could do what you suggested in the engine bay.

always the way mate yes try and catch it happening a few times not just the once.
Happened today but very faintly and phone didn't pick it up.
What I have done is took out a warranty with warranty wise. I looked on the net for their reviews and they were bad but going back a few years.
Going by they're website and conversation with sales guy, they cover everything apart from consumables such as brakes, tyres etc...
As the car is less than 4 years old will also cover mot failure, include dpf and egr problems.
One of things I made sure was the clutch and flywheel. Both covered regardless if wear and tear.
Got aa recovery too with home start and eu cover.
Price was good too. Got him from £39 to £25 pm and when I cancel RAC (£12) makes it extra £13.
Should cover of that screaming noise develops into something serious

always best to be covered
Ok, update.
Failed mot, needed a new tyres So no biggy.
The turkey noise they said it's the character of the car and not detrimental so they wouldn't fix it again.
So, got the car back all sorted mot.
The springy sounding noise is worse, you can hear it when getting to the car, applying and releasing brake pedal and when pulling off.
I'm wondering if it could be a joint somewhere cv/track rod end etc.....

I also get this springy type noise on my brakes, strange mines a 2011 1.7, does yours have electric parking brake or proper hand brak?
Hi mate, I got electric parking brake. It's coming from the front on mine

I'm not really sure where it's coming from on mine, tbh I've just ignored it, I think my car is still on its original pads and discs, so I'll be stripping and replacing them soon
