Loud screeching noise on acceleration / load
Hi all, I've just returned from a trip and have noticed now that when the engine is cold and the motor under load (between 1700 and 2500 prm) I get a loud screeching noise coming from the passenger side of the engine bay. Once it warms up the sound goes away. I've been doing some reading on threads here and people mention fan belt, idler, EGR value and warped manifold for this kind of noise. Any thoughts??? My vehicle is a 2008 3.0 CRD Auto.

Mine is doing that currently (td42). Bit of soapy water around where the turbo mounts to the manifold (when the engine is cold) will show if it's leaking or not. I've just got a new gasket and studs ready to go in when I get the time. Will probably be next week.
Edit: mine is leaking from here and is apparently playing the gasket like a gumleaf. Comes and goes with the egt temps. I.e. temps over 250 it's gone but pipes up when it cools off.

You’ve either split the egr tube or the exhaust manifold is warped. But are fairly common to happen on those motors.

My money is on the EGR pipe at the back of the motor.
Happened to me on my 2009 crd. Exact same scenario , especially when it spools up cold.
Fairly common.

I've also read it could be the alternator pulley clutch?
Can you see the split on the EGR pipe?

Could be but that would make the noise all the time I would think. A split pipe or warped manifold will lessen as the metal heats up and expands. Get a torch and check for soot marks anywhere on that side.

im with mudski, egr pipe or exhause manifold i work at a nissan dealer we see it alot and its happened to my 2008 crd
ussually 2 out of 8 manifold studs snap and the manifold warps.
get a new manifold dont machine the old one and get 8 new studs.

@Flex Recon EGR pipe or exhaust manifold. Take turbo heat shield off first and have a bit of a look around. Mine 08 CRD both EGR pipe had split and Exhaust manifold first two studs gone by 145,000ks. Split EGR pipe no problem if blanking plate both ends (something to consider). Need to remove front manifold heat shield to check front studs but if manifold is leaking (may not be obvious) fit new gasket with a new or M/C manifold (up to you), but use Inconel studs and wurth nuts (lock ring & copper coated so they don't corrode). Also have done tensioner but this does not sound the problem here.
Can not recommend other improvements (eg: NADS etc) as we do not know your eng mods to date.

x 3 with the split EGR pipe pretty common with the CRD motor
you can block the egr with a stainless plate. Can I suggest you
purchase a scan guage a must for CRD owners

Thanks all for your suggestions. I starting looking at the car today trying to find what was making the noise. I noticed after a while I could smell exhaust fumes in the engine bay while the motors was ruining. So I crawled under the car and starting looking around the exhaust. Then I found the below
It looks like a crack where the tube meets the flange. Is this what you guys were talking about in regards to the EGR pipe?
How do you go about replacing it as it's hard up against the firewall?
