Looking for ideas to a squealing I'm hearing on my 2007 LR3 HSE... I'm hearing a high-pitched squeal intermittently while driving or idling. the pitch and duration is consistent regardless of RPM or speed; however RPM does dip slightly when the squeal occurs. It's high pithced and lasts maybe 1 second. I've heard it while driving a couple times and it sounded like it was from underneath the driver's side door, perhaps relating to the suspension compressor/tank area. The one time I heard it at idle was when I had the hood up and sprayed the throttle body area with water. At that time it sounded like it was from the throttle body area or below. With that said, the issue is not readily reproduceable.
You may be asking why the hood was up to start with, was trying to troubleshoot a P0171 (Bank 1 too lean) intermittent problem and was checking all the hoses and gaskets with carb cleaner. sadly, no vacuum leak detected but when i went to wash off any residue I heard the squeak and noticed the drop in RPM. Could not reproduce it though.
My current theory for the squeak is it may be the water pump seizing briefly, any thoughts or recommendations?
