stants Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Anyone got any ideas ? Finished work drove to supermarket parked on a slight slope, went to start the car and it made the most horrendous screeching noise meatallic shearing sound when I turned the key. Obviously I stopped truning it over straight away checked everything over. No visible signs of anything Then re started fine, drove for another 2 miles all good. Seems strange that it's done it after an oil change or it's just pure co incidence, starter motor on way out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'd have to say the starter motor mate if it didn't start when it did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Almost like a clutch was engaged and trying to pull its self out. I'm off to check the oil level in a bit so I'll turn over and see. I did remove the belt cover to get to the crank sensor so maybe something was catching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
