Hi guys. I am getting an intermittent squeak when I tap the accelerator pedal. This usually happens on light acceleration and tends to happen when the engine is warm- I would say 80-90 c oil temp. It doesn't do it every time. 

 

It started happening after I had the water pump replaced. Don't know if it's just a coincidence? I'm going to book it in with Skoda and get them to have a look at it but because it's not constant, it's Sod's law they won't hear anything...

 

I've not noticed any loss of performance whatsoever. It also accelerates fine like it should, even when it squeaks. Any ideas? Cheers

It could be the supercharger whining ? 

Hi mate. It's definitely not the normal sound of the supercharger but I am thinking it could be related to the supercharger as I've noticed it since had the water pump changed. Don't know if it's something to do with the belts etc?

its to hard to say mate without looking at it , they could of left the cover off so it's more loud now ?

It the noise the mice make as they are being whipped to make the wheel spin faster as you press on the throttle

 

If it does it more on a morning than later in the day if could just be a bit of dampness on the aux belts. WD40 or GT85 usually cures it.

I'm sure I read somewhere it's the pulley on the supercharger making a noise when you apply the throttle

 

Mine does it every now and then

My car does this, did you find out what it was?

 

It sounds like the sound comes from the rear to me.

 

I drive a Karoq 2020 manual. We bought it three years old and after one or two weeks we started hearing a squeaking sound, high frequency (similar to the sound you hear in devices that should scare away a mouse).

 

The sound is not always there. Only on light throttle, and never when the car stands still. 

 

I hear it on all gears with very light throttle. It is most evident when in gear 2 or 3 at around 2,000-3,000 rpm. Very very annoying for a car that is only 3/4 yrs old and only rolled about 37,000 km. 

 

 

The squeak or squeak disappears either by taking the foot off the accelerator or pressing it harder. I can almost always reproduce the noise using a light throttle, in 3rd gear, around 2,200 rpm. 

 

 I have no hearing problem nor am I too sensitive but the squealing sound is truly there. My wife hears it, my children, and my friends. The guy at the mechanics also heard it but says he can’t find what it is, where it is exactly, somewhere in the right front probably. 

 

 

I am to leave the car at the mechanics for one week but I doubt they will locate the problem unless it gets really worse. 
 

I believe it has to do with something that connects to the throttle/gas/accelerator because the squeal goes away directly when taking the foot of the accelerator, or adding more gas. The sound is on a very light throttle. 
 

Surely, someone has isolated the problem and solved it?
