Hi guys,

First time posting so apologies if this is in the wrong place.

My 2012 F20 is making a strange noise - sounds kinda like a squeeling (maybe a bearing? no idea) It only does it at one specific junction, I drive the same way several times a week for work and it is approximately after about 5 minutes driving the car from cold for the first time that day. I pull off in first and then once I change into second gear at around 10 - 15mph the noise happens soon after coming off the clutch. It is short (aprox 3 seconds) and id say gets higher pitched as it goes on. It has been doing this for a couple of months now but today the car seemed to lose power slightly when it happened (this could have been my imagination though) so thought I would ask whether anyone had any ideas on what this was.

Any ideas are muchly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
