Odd sound, any suggestions?
Hi everyone! Long time-reader, "rare-poster".
Anyway, I have run into my first issue with my 03' MCS., I'm hoping it's not a very serious one and if anyone has experienced the same problem and have any suggestions it would be highly appreciated!
The car seems to makes a "scratch like sound" (not chalkboard against nail scratch, almost like two sandpapers moving against each other - not the best way to explain it) followed by a periodic "squishing sound" (similar to when you have water in your shoes) at speeds of under 20mph (at least I can't hear it after this point).
I could not get a sense of where the sound was coming from as it seemed to come from both sides of the car.. not too sure though. I did try letting the MCS roll in neutral at 15mph and the sound persisted, even when turning (in either direction). Just thought I would mention this, to see if it helps narrows down the problem.
Any suggestions as the what I can do before taking it to a dealership. (which is unfortunately 1000miles away currently)
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Bill
