I'm not gonna rant , but lets just say some people can't drive especially in toronto,
But the real kicker is, I have a squealing noise, coming from the front end, dont' know what it's comin from.... Only happens when coolant temp is 2/3 the way up norm operating range, and only below 30 kmh/16mph
Ive checked the boots, suspension and brakes..... any ideas?

My first guess would be the water pump is beginning to leak. The squeal is caused by coolant getting on the serpentine belt. The reason for this not happening at faster speeds is due to air movement, its causing the coolant to go someplace else.

Thanks,
I checked the water pump ect, doesn't look like theres any leaks,
and the squealing only happens when the wheels are turning, regardless of rpm, and only when the coolant is above 2/3...
any other ideas?

Sounds like maybe your cooling fans might be touching :dunno:
Were you , or your GA involved in an incident ?

Yea I hit a civic who didnt look when turning left, and I crunched my Dr side front corner into his pass side rear corner...
not real bad hit, but it cracked the bumper cover, and the Dr side quarter..
Eh it gives me an excuse to re-do alot of stuff on the car anyways. :D
Coming soon: Wheels/tires, springs/struts/shocks tower strut brace, custom exhaust + new front end pieces..lol

Bet your front ends outa square, that blows :grinyes:
Check around under the hood while the ac is on max. The fans should start and if they are whats making the noise you'll know :D
Noises are hard to determine sometimes !
