Hey all.. for the last couple months the car has made a really strange noise, only when starting from DEAD cold. Only if it sits over night and ambient temps are below 65 degrees or so. If I start it while the motor is even slightly still warm it sounds exactly like it should. The noise appears to be coming from the top end of the motor, toward the front. It's a high-pitched screeching sound. Kinda like a boiling teapot mixed with a choking song bird.. Here's a video (don't mind the piss-poor quality) if y'all wanna take a listen. Hoping someone on here has heard this before.

My 240 also makes a noise similar to this but it's quieter and only when I'm on the throttle and it does it either hot or cold.. it's always making that noise.

Beware! I recorded this video like a total as$hole, so maybe just listen and not watch :lol:

Any help/info is very appreciated. I'm stumped.

I had one like it that would squeal for the first 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Once warmed up, it would quit squealing. Basically, it was clearancing itself every time. It had to cool off for quite awhile before the process started all over.

That seems to be exactly my case as well. Hope it doesn't **** out any time too soon..
 
I'd order one ASAP. Possibly even buck up for the 2nd day delivery. Do it now before you're doing it on the side of the road or paying for a tow.

PS: Now I'm dizzy from your video! :rofl:
