Squealing from gearbox (I think)
Squealing from gearbox (I think)
This noise has begun happening when my clutch starts engaging a gear, be it 1st or 2nd. The sound isn't there with the clutch all the way in, or with it all the way out.
The interesting thing is that it ALSO happens completely out of gear when I start the engine, and also when the engine starts itself after an auto-stopstart. It happens even if I re-start the engine by turning off the auto-stopstart switch (which means my foot is completely off the clutch pedal at all times).
Any ideas?
apologies for the crappy video, but you can clearly hear the sound in the first half.

I can't really hear it.
Here are a couple of other squeals:
This guy thinks it's coming from the engine. No resolution.

This was mine, it was a malfunctioning pressure relief valve, the pressure was being released through the oil filter. I had a drop in the oil level, too. It definitely sounded like the engine, but low in the engine.

Do you have any videos of it?
Anything you could contribute would help me, as my dealer is still in the dark with regard to this issue. Thank you.
Noise
It does it intermittently mainly in 1st and 2nd gear. When you go to accelerate it sounds like a slipping belt then when you press the clutch it goes away let off the clutch it comes back. They think it is a crankshaft bearing failure I should hear something this week as for videos I have a few but they are horrible quality. I was able to show the dealer the problem after several visits. There is another thread on here that has videos posted search for
( High Pitched Squeal ) That's what it sounds like
