problem #1

May 052009

Focus LX 1.6L

  • Manual transmission
  • 47,000 miles

there is a high pitched whirring/squealing noise when speeding up and moving through gears

Update from May 9, 2009: it was caused by a leak from the pipe joint on power steering which allowed the fluid to get on the air coditioning belt and the alternator belt. Fix was new pipe and 2 new belts. This was not covere under the warranty although the power steering pump was!
