Hi
So I have a really annoying squealing from the belt area....sounds like a squeaky old transit!
Changes with engine speed and there at idle so it can only be engine related.
Changed both tensioners for good ones.....but the noise is still there! Its there from idle, right round to the redline....and really irritating at motorway speeds...have to be over 3k to stop the injector tick but then get the squeal anyway haha.
Now when spinning pulleys by hand none actually make any noise. Only thing I noticed was the PAS pump pulley is very slightly off square, and has a tiny amount of play in it. Not surprising given the mileage, but can this cause a squeal? Its not leaking, and the steering feels fine, not lumpy or anything.
I have one from a lower mileage engine, but don't want to go to the hassle of changing it if it's no chance of that making the noise.
Cheers
Tom
