Hey guys – this might be a long shot – but I wanted to see if anyone could help me fix an issue with my girlfriend’s VW Golf.
Car: 1997 mk3 Golf GL with 2.0 motor and ~161K miles on it
Symptom: loud “squeaking” noise from engine bay. (kinda like a bird chirping)
Without engine running, I found that I can physically “shake” motor with my hands – and re-create the squeak. Because the engine is off, I’m eliminating things like accessory belts or alternator bearings.
So- I’m thinking motor or transmission mounts (?). With car on ramps, I got under the car and “shook” the engine by hand – but am having a hard time pin-pointing area or part that is squeaking. I’m no where near as familiar with the VW as I am with the e30..
Any help/guidance/suggestions/input would be greatly appreciated.
