I know I posted a similar post over in the 2K forum but more traffic seems to flow thru here so......

I stopped off at the dealer today to talk to the
tech who replaced the engine mounts. He is baffled
as I am at what is causing this squeak(chirp or
whatever).

He hooked up his Consultant II and is able to turn
the mounts off and on. When he turns the mount
off and feeds a little gas, there is absolutley no
chirp. Turns the mount back on and it immediatly
chirps. Turns it off...no noise.

He explained a little bit on how a mount works but
he had me at hello Actuator?

Car seems to not make the chirp unless it is
fairly warm...(running for about 5 minutes)

He is placing a call with Nissan tonight to see if
they can help him at all and I'm to get back to
him midweek....

So it sounds like a belt and all that other stuff
is ruled out.....does the mount move the engine
enough to cause something else to squeak?

Oh well just another problem I have with
Nissan...jeesh.

 

Do you hear it when you driving or when starting from stand still?
And those mounts only available with Auto SE or with 5-speed too.

 

it while at a standstill or creeping......it seems to be when you give it a little gas and then let up...best way to describe it...

It's gotta be something about the mounts...like I said, when he turns the mounts off there is no noise but when he turns them back on, Chirp right away...very weird indeed.
