Yeah, I'm gonna pull the sparkplug cover when I get time, If I still can't figure it out I'll post a video.

My car did this at one time. come to discover the water pump bearings were going bad.it did it on cold starts and went away after warming up and throttling up just like you described. new water pump got rid of the squeak. the car never overheated, just squeak like crazy when cold. good luck with finding the problem.

The odd thing is it starts after it warms up a bit (2+bars;F22), and starts to fade away when the car starts moving.

007...did you listen to this vid? Is that the squeaking sound you hear? Are you the first owner of the car? If not you may have crank vents installed by a previous owner.

See if you have devices installed in the hoses that look similar to the ones circled in this pic:

That video wasn't loading for me, and I am not the first owner, however I've had the car for nearly 2 years now and the noise has just started recently. I do not have those hose vents. Thankyou for the suggestions so far, keep them coming. I did notice the noise after a couple successive start ups, I had to make a couple quick stops within a mile or two, Im not sure/hoping that it is not related.

That's what I was thinking.

If you've got Krank Vents installed, you will hear a slight chirping sound. I had this noise on my old AP1 with Krank Vents installed.
