well not to sure if what it is but my tC is make lets see how to explain chirping noises??? kinda like when the belts get old and they start making noise and i already replaced the belts and the noise is still coming out but i do know that when i pop the clutch in it goes away can anyone help??

 

CHeck the two 10mm bolts on the top studs of the ac condensor - car rattles the most (shakes) at idle - these somehow came loose on mine after one of the motor pulls and made an annoying ___ chirp at idle. Also really anything thats metal on metal and not tight could make this noise

 

Well yeah I guess ill start to poke around the inside of the hood and see what happens cause that noise is really annoying right now

 

haha i know how it is - i have solid motor mounts - they make any squeak or rattle 100000x worse

 

Ouch!

 

is your car standard? I had the same problem with my 2007 tc i had the trd supposedly heavy duty clutch and fly wheel which is complete junklike all trd parts lol my car made the same sound before my clutch burned out 6000 miles later . I only got 20,000 miles on that thing waste of a 1000 dollars + interest i have an exedy now and its lasted twice as long so far.Listen close when you switch gears if your standard I heard the chirping and also a wierd whining sound during gear switching and just the chirping when i drove or stood still.
Also some types of new tires can give a chirping affect that can appear to be from the car

 

I think your on the right track cause the guy from the dealer said something about clutch but didn't really say what exactly

 

throw out bearing

 

I think that's what he said! Now that being said the guy said not to worry about it? Bit how is that not
Worry about now is they covered under an extended warranty? If anyone knows

 

only if its a factory clutch, but whats your local dealer west covina toyota?

 

Yeah Its the factory clutch and yeah my local dealer is west covina toyota that's where I always go if I have any problem

 

dunno if the throw out bearing is warranteed after like 12k miles but u can try and if not u might aswell just buy a whole new clutch from exeedy cuz itll cost the same amount for toyota to put in a factory clutch

 

Well thanks guys for all your input on all this ill keep you guys updated I'm going back to the dealer friday to see what's up?

 

ill see you then , how many miles are in your car and year

 

Its a 2007 rs3.0 and unfortunitly 40000

 

Is it factory clutch if so clutch may be out of warranty but bearing are 60k 5year warranty.

 

his clutch isnt gone...but the throwout bearing most likely is fried...and thats under warranty

 

Is it factory clutch if so clutch may be out of warranty but bearing are 60k 5year warranty.
