    I have a new 430 (at 700 miles at the moment) and as the title states have what can only be described as a chirping sound coming front of the engine where the belts are, it goes once the engine start to warm up. Anyone else have any expirience of this? My previous 430 didn't have this although this was a pre owned car with 3500miles on the clock when I got her.

    The noise would have to be the belts. I am not 100% sure if they are adjustable or not?? They may have a spring tensioner? This chirp/squeal can also depend on how long the car has been sitting with these belts also. The car may only have 700 miles on it, but car is one year old? If you know what I mean? :D New belts can squeal upon start up. This happens as the new belts stretch and wear in ect.......I would take it back to the Ferrari dealer from whom you purchased the 430 from and ask them to have a quick look at it for you. :):)

    Mine did the same thing for a few days then disappeared. I put 1000kms on it the first week so that might be why it went away....
