[s-cars] UrS4 Test Drive

[Tom Mullane]

Greg,

My old S4 used to do this too.  I spent a lot of time trying to figure out
what the noise was and never figured it out.  Eventually I just ignored it.
>From trying to isolate the noise myself, I would guess it is something with
the dual mass flywheel.  If the car is nice, I wouldn't sweat it.

S-Car Crew,

I test drove a '93 urS4 today.  It has less than 75K miles.  We went for 
a fairly long test drive.  Three times, as I was downshifting into 
second, then letting the clutch out and staring to turn, we (the owner 
and I) heard a mild squeeking noise, maybe more like a quick yelp. It 
did it once on a right turn and twice on lefts, but it did not do it all 
the time and when I tired to reproduce it as we pulled back into her 
condo parking lot (left turn) it was quiet.  It sounded to me as if it 
was coming from my side of the car, but that may have been because I was 
there with the window wide open.  The owners says she's never heard it 
before and I think she's being truthful.  Any ideas?
