New chirping sound - Toyota Yaris Forums

DebbyM46227 · 12-24-2014, 11:34 AM

This seems to have started this morning. Rainy day, I was taking off from a stop light and spun the front tires a bit. Constant, high pitched chirping sound but it goes away when I push the clutch in. I sure hope it's nothing expensive, I've been out of a job since July. I have 32,800 mileage on my car.

Probably just the serpentine belt needing to be tensioned. Damp conditions can promote belt slippage.

If it's the serpentine belt, why would the sound go away when I push the clutch in?

WeeYari · 12-24-2014, 11:42 AM

Reducing load on the crank pulley.

Thanks, I hope that's all it is :)

For giggles also check around the water pump for leaks. More common than people think, but the water pump can easily go out around your mileage mark.

DebbyM46227 · 12-24-2014, 01:32 PM

OK, I'll check for those leaks as soon as it stops raining.

And what exactly is this doing in a thread pertaining to a serpentine belt?

Come on man...Everybody knows you need a OEM belt to do an aftermarket keyless system.

Now I'm not so sure it's the belt. Here's a video I made; it's making the sound but not as loud as it usually does. My camera didn't do such a good job with the noise. Sometimes it chirps, sometimes it chatters. Some days even though damp, makes no sound.

Also, take a peek at the end of the video by that round rubber thing....is rust in that area common on those brackets? Is the water pump near there?

bronsin · 01-07-2015, 01:11 PM

Yes the wp is driven by the belt which is in close proximity to the rusty round rubber thing (RcubedT)

You apparently live in a state with heavy salt use in winter hence the rust. I wouldn't worry about it but have the front suspension bolt recall done or at least checked.

I have to believe your noise is one of the accessories driven by the belt. Or at least, if it was my car I would remove the belt and see if the noise goes away and further spin and feel the rotation of the accessory pullys. Im thinking water pump.

Likely its the throwout bearing which operates the clutch.

Hows your clutch working in general?

ilikerice · 01-07-2015, 02:12 PM

yea, Bronsin is on it. It sounds like the throwout bearing as you discribed.

For 6 months the clutch has been a little sticky on damp days but after driving it a couple miles it feels normal. On non-damp days it feels normal.

Is that throwout bearing part of the drivetrain warranty? I'd check myself but it's 4 degrees out and I'm staying inside.

I was laid off from my job in July and TODAY I finally got a job offer! I start Monday and being on probation for 90 days I want to get my car in good condition but I hope I don't have to pay for the repair myself.

That rusty bolt repair - I had that repaired about a year ago at Toyota right before the recall came out.

PS: I don't ride my clutch, and I don't hold it in at stoplights. I learned a long time ago with my Honda CRX to put it in neutral at lights.

bronsin · 01-08-2015, 06:05 AM

Dont know if clutch is covered. Youll have to call the dealer. Good luck!
