| Strange behaviour from car having driven to munich |
|
We are on route o Austria for half term ski now arrived in Munich for overnight stop.
The car behaved on the way to the tunnel but going across Belgium it's developed a erratic squeak from what we think is the rear right wheel it stops if the brakes are touched and if I steer slightly to the right any ideas what could be causing this I've felt the wheel and it docent seem to be getting hot and there is no movement in it when I grab hold of it.
More worryingly having refuelled in Luxembourg we stopped for a few minutes for a pee when acceleratting back on go autobahn there was nothing there just foot flat to the floor and nothing happened for 20 secs. The same happened again after another stop took about 10 mins before it started working normally again. RLD Sump Guard & Spare Wheel Protector, 19 GoodYear Wrangler, 17in Maxxis Bighorns

Brake squeak might just be dirt, so I'd only keep an eye on it and investigate further it it persists.
Performance delay might be EGR playing up. I had this in Tunisia last year but the engine was very hot and working hard on mountain roads. Never had a problem since. We're on the original EGRs. Try progressive throttle when getting up to speed on the autoroute rather than immediate full throttle.

Could be the initial signs of a wheel bearing. It may only exhibiot the noise as it gets warmer..... Bodsys Brake Bible

Acceleration sounds like egr (not had one go in the disco but did loose on in the van) on the squeek is there any heat building up on any of the wheels after a long run ? Don’t worry it is supposed to sound like that...honest

Could be EGR. Or are you getting black smoke out of the back at the same time, in which case it is likely to be split or delaminated Intercooler hose.
Are you sure it was 20 seconds or just felt like 20 seconds?
I currently have a failed EGR (Passenger side) and the delay is about 3 seconds until it reaches 2000RPM Bodsys Brake Bible
