I have a 99 2.0L Escort SE, and I recently had my transmission replaced(Last week). Since I got it back from the shop, there is a chirpping noise coming from the front right side of the car. It scared my wife, she thought there was a bug under her seat, or a mouse. After a few tests while driving, I found that it only seems to squeek when I coast, or when I'm pushing the gas just enough to stay at the same speed. I haven't noticed it squeek over 45mph. Any ideas what it could be? It did not chirp at all before the new transmission was put in.
Any info would be appreciated. |

Re: Chirp, Squeak, sound
Does it happen for a second after the car has been turned off?

Re: Chirp, Squeak, sound
I'll check on my lunch break and let you know, I don't think that it does though. It doesn't squeek at all when I'm stopped, just when I'm moving. It's not a loud chirp either, it's subtle, like having a cricket in the glove compartment (as my wife thought).

sounds to me like a belt, or a bearing somewhere, possibly belt tensioner.

Re: Chirp, Squeak, sound
If it does it after the engine is off it is the crankcase breather filter. It is a $15 part from the dealer and takes about 2 minutes to replace. I went through 2 belts, an alternator, and several other things for over $500 total to fix a $15 part. Mine would make the noise at idle and slow speeds and for a second after the engine was shut off.

Re: Chirp, Squeak, sound
But since yours is a SE I could be wrong, I have a 98 ZX2.
