Hello there thanks for your potential help. I didn't want to post a help thread here but new member so oh well.

So I recently purchased a 2004 RX-8 Auto a little over a month ago. All was fine, except the car having almost no oil in it. However, I now have a squeaking sound coming from the passenger side of the front of the car. I'm having trouble locating the exact source of the sound since the squeaking only occurs when I am in gear. I only hear the sound while parking, with foot on brake and not the accelerator.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

brake pad?

 

Its not a consistent squeak, it repeats... I can seem to find the right word. Maybe I'll go record it

 

I had a stick in my passenger rotor. It squeaked whenever I braked but it wasnt actually maybe my brakes haha. But yeah, if you could record it that may help a lot

 

So I went out to record and it didn't make the sound. So I drove it around for a bit to get the engine warm, and it made the sound one or twice but was before i tried to record and it just wouldn't make it :/ No idea whats going on.

 

I couldnt record it myself but sounds really similar if not the same

 

It sounds like the normal intake hiss.

Whine-Squeal From Engine At Idle

 

Well if its normal it sure doesnt sound it lol thanks

 

could be the belt, get some belt dressing and try that.

I hear a bit of a rattle in the video. If it's a squeal, check the idler wheel on the accessory belt. The adjustment for tightening the belt is there. You may find it corroded and needing to be cleaned up.
