Engine Squeak - Help Identifying
Hey everyone,
Looking for input from anyone who’s run into this. I’ve got a 2021 G63 (34k miles) and I’m hearing a metal-on-metal, hinge-like squeak that I'm trying to diagnose so I can be prescriptive with the dealer visit. I’ve attached a short video that captures both the sound and its location.
Here’s what I’ve confirmed so far:
Has anyone here experienced this?
If so, did it end up being the diverter valves, wastegate pivots, or something else entirely?
Would love to hear what fixed it for you — parts, grease, or replacement.
Thanks in advance for any insight!

Here’s what I’ve confirmed so far:
- The noise comes from behind the turbos, between the turbos and the firewall.
- It happens consistently at shutdown, and also when decelerating or slowing into a left-hand turn, especially after throttle lift.
- It sounds exactly like a dry metal hinge or pivot.
- Doesn’t happen when parked on an incline.
- Car drives fine otherwise — no codes or loss of power.
- Turbocharger bypass (diverter) valves
- Wastegate arm / pivot linkage
