2001 2.3 Zetec Auto - Engine Squeal

[Tuscan777]

Hi

 

Just purchased a 2001 Zetec Auto and there is rather an annoying squeal when the engine is running which only gets louder as it's driven. Obviously it's going back to the garage but would be grateful for any advice as to what this might be.

 

Also, the engine warning light on the dashboard stays on all the time - garage told me that this was due to damp after the car was steam cleaned(!) - any idea why this might stay on>

 

Thanks

Hmm..have you tried disconnecting the battery for 15/25 mins to see if it resets the ecu?
