MG MGF Technical - Throttle body and squael

Hi All,

Been some time since I posted - but here I am back again :-)

I recently bought a 56mm throttle body kit fir the car and installed tonight. All seemed to go well.

I went for my first drive to test and loved the pick-up. However I have a problem - major problem actually.

There is a very high pitched squeal coming from the back of the car in the engine compartment. It's constant but will go a little deeper and then disappear if I apply throttle. Once the throttle level is constant, the squeal returns.

It doesn't seem to be speed related. Happens all the time but like I said, give the car some gas and the squeal goes away.

Got me beat. Any ideas? It's really annoying and almost deafening internally to the car, let alone externally!

Any advice/help appreciated.

Cheers

Sonny

This sounds like your fan belt. Miine does it sometimes when its wet. Get it tightened up a little and you will find the noise goes.
