R53 JCW screeching noise on cold startup
Hello folks,
I have an '05 R53 MCS JCW and I just started noticing a screeching noise upon startup (mostly cold startups, but occasionally on warm startups as well). I'm posting a video here that demos the sound (this is with the hood closed, but I could get one with the hood open if needed) -- Anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on here? Car drives fine otherwise. Any help appreciated! beemboy |
Sounds like it could be the starter getting stuck and not releasing after it starts up. Mine would do this when it dropped a certain temp outside, but if it was 65+ degrees out it would be fine. All on cold starts as well. Check out this thread HERE with a video with a similar noise to yours. Starters HERE if needed.

yep, sounds like the starter

Yep. Starter I think. My '04 MCS has has been doing to for a few years (cold weather only). Less this winter. Comes and goes. No longterm issues so far. There is another thread on the topic. Unfortunately no definitive solution. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...noise-r53.html

Thanks a bunch. I hope that's all it is. Certainly a weird noise and I'm going to wait around to see if it goes away in the summer time.
