when my car engine is on and is idle, after approximately 30 sec to a minute it makes strange squeeking noises. When i push down on the accelerator the noise stops and again after 30 sec or so its back. Its not a constant noise. it quickly makes it then stops, and so on. Any Ideas? It has passed its MOT about a month ago and nothing major showed up then
