Weird noise when cold

[clarealison]

Hi everyone, new to the forum having recently purchased a 1.6 black cc. Loving it!

One issue that has come up, when the engine is cold and I set off there is a strange squeking, creaking noise that comes from under the car. The noise seems to only happen when I take my foot off the accelerator to change gear.

Once I am a couple of mins down the road it disappears and all is fine. Just a bit embarrasing to pull off my drive in my new car and creak along

Any ideas??

i suspect its the front exhaust olive,tis a flexable joint from the exhaust down pipe, the graphite type lubricant wears away and the two metal surfaces rub toghter.tends to get qieter as the exhaust gets hot and expands,making the joint tighter.
