I have owned my 99 RS for about 2 weeks now, and I notice that at a cold start (sitting for ~3hrs at least) that for about 30-45 seconds following startup that I hear a "squeak, squeak, squeak" with about a second in between each noise. Almost like something pivoting or something. The only thing in that area I can think of that is powered/has moving parts is the fuel pump. This sound occurs regarldess of fuel level as well.
Anyone else had these symptoms? I am not seeing any adverse effects but the noise is a little embarrassing and would like to solve it.

Nah the noise does not change if I rev the motor and I have gotten out of the car and tried to identify it and it is definitely from the rear. Thanks for the suggest though.

lube your exhaust brackets and see if it stops. Or you could have lil birdie living in your car
