comment What can cause the squeak sound in the front right when driving faster then 70 km/h
I might also add that a rock in the disc brake or worn brake pads may also cause squeaking near the wheel (even when not applying the brake).

comment Rough noise while accelerating
For all of them probably around $1000 (maybe a bit less). If you want to save cash you could just get the main essential belts replaced and not worry too much about the ones that power the aircon/power steering. I'm not sure this would be your propblem though - just a guess

comment Rough noise while accelerating
How long ago were the timing belts replaced (these are the rubber belts at the front of your engine that operate the valves as well as other features like water pump, power steering and air con. These should be replaced perhaps every 60K miles or so, so maybe yours are old?)

comment Motorcycle popping on acceleration
Im sure you did, but did you make sure you had the right spark plug? Some are 'hotter' or 'colder' then others. It may be that the fuel isnt igniting properly and flooding the engine

comment Car revs high when changing from third to fourth
It could be your clutch plates are worn out and not gripping straight away. Do you notice high revs but limited movement when you accelerate quickly or perform a hill start?
