can some1 plz define this "chirp" what does it mean? is it the hesitation? or is this an actual sound? cause I have over 21K miles on my car and i never heard a "chirp" from the s/c
Quote from www.c32life.com FAQ:
"Chirp Sound when initially accelerating or shifting gears
Just noticed a short squeak (birdlike) sound that comes from the engine when I accelerate from a stand still. I'm not flooring it, just accelerating from a stop or slow roll. Sounds like a belt slipping 'chirp'. Could be belt or the supercharger?? Don't know, just trying to isolate sound before I take it to dealer. Had to turn off radio cause it's ever so slight until you hear it then it's annoying.
This sound also happens when the car downshifts sometimes.
It sounds like a belt is slipping but seems to be coming for the transmission."
