    Default Squeal on acceleration

    Hey Guys,

    Ive noticed the last couple of weeks when I plant my foot down I occasionally get a little squeal from the engine, but doesn't happen all the time though.
    Ive got to book it in for a service in a couple of weeks, but any ideas what would do that?

    The wheel is first to squeal seriously? lol

    I was thinking it might be a belt, but prefer it not to be. How long are belts meant to last for? The car has only done 50k.

    I'd have a look under the bonnet, mine had a similar sound after the water pump started leaking (27K on the odo). May not be a faulty belt if it has coolant all over it!

    Haha, I think I would be bragging if it was wheel spin But nah I am pretty confident it is coming from the engine bay, then again I havent heard it for a few days...
    Ive got it booked in for a service in a couple of weeks (new workshop I have never tried before) so I'll ask them to keep an ear out for it.
