I just bought and drove home my first Aston Martin yesterday! After owning Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Porsche's, Lotus's and a host of others, you couldn't wipe the smile off my face while driving the almost 500 miles home. I did notice a rather loud squeaking that sounded like a fan belt. It changed pitch when I pushed in the clutch or changed revs. Any thoughts on a solution? It's a 2006 Vantage with 10K miles.
Thank you!!!!

 

There is a dealer fix for this. Take it in and they will take care of it. Yours should have been done while it was still under warranty...since it wasn't, be prepared to be charged for it.

 

Sounds like the serpentine belt

 

I had mine done the second month I owned it. If i remember, there is some engine paint that they apply to a contact point. They had it overnight and I never heard it again.

 

if you pay its between 300 - 400

 

Thanks everyone for your help!!!

 

... mine (2007) was actually the bracket, that holds the device, that runs the belt ... belt was squeeking at 50 miles ... took a little while to trace (belt? pulley? angle? no was bracket that bolted to the car - my dealer was first to discover actual cause) ... was then a recall on the bracket (by SN), actually had a small bend due to bad production ... I was told only a small batch of brackets. Just thought I would pass this on, though you would have thought previous owner would have heard/fixed.
