For about the last 8k miles my car has been making a creaking noise for about a second as it starts up. It also creaks as I accelerate (including going in reverse), and will continue doing so until the engine warms up a bit. When I start it warm it doesn't make any noise. How can I see if there are any problems? Could there be a problem with the engine/tranny mounts? Should I get it checked asap? This doesn't seem like a horrible problem, but I want to make sure I fix it if it leads somewhere harmful to the engine or anything for that matter! I also have a video of the sound and can send it to someone if they're interested via email if that'd allowed. Just email Thank you all!!

As for you noise, the motor mounts would be my #1 suspect but you need to know what to look for to inspect them. I suggest you let a professional listen to it and try to track it down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Regular accessory belt I mean not any other. It's cold and doesn't like bending. They don't and new can't lay one out and make an even, round circle it's harder when on something tight. By the book would say it should go for age/miles anyway already and still do that for a second or very short while if so but prove it as that's my guess. Take it off see if it quits totally for that initial start and quick into gear but don't allow time to warm up less then a minute if not there it's probably that. ALMOST ALL DO some noise that quits just KNOW that's it not something real to do right away, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
