Hi Guys,
New to the forum so bear with me. Just got myself a well serviced < 100k mile HDi. Just started making a low pitch whining grinding noise coming from the cam belt side of the engine. :? I was thinking it could be a faulty idler or tensioner. Anyone know a guide for exchanging the cam belt on the HDi or a way I could check the idlers without having to remove the belt / lock off the various parts? Would usually be up to the task but I am at uni in exeter, this is an unfamiliar engine, I have very few tools and I am 300 miles from home! Could be a bit stuck. The noise isn't getting worse fast, but I would at least like to check under the covers to check all of the idlers are spinning and that something isn't eating the belt.
Have receipt for the belt being changed at 65k by a pug centre.
Also am I right in thinking the water pump on the 2l HDi is on an aux belt not the timing belt?
Any input much appreciated guys!
Cheers
