Hi Guys,

I have a new esteem 1k on odo. after my first service, one fine day when I started the car, I heard a screech voice as I cranked the engine. When I raced the engine a bit, it grew louder. All this happened for no more than 3-4 seconds after which the sound disappeared. I again restarted the car and it was there. Left it like that for 10 minutes, and then it has never come after that.

BTW, my car was in neutral when I cranked the engine. It is similar to what i have heard in the old Indicas starting in the morning, and their screeching sound increases as they accelerate.

Havent spoken to dealer about it as yet. Is it normal or something to worry about, considering its a brand new car.

Please advise
