HI!

There is a whirring, squeaking, squealing noise coming from, what sounds like, under the bonnet on the drivers side. Any one had this problem seems to have got worse in the warmer weather???

it could be from one of the bearings at the tensioner,more info on the car please mk2/mk3,tddi,tdci,petrol?

Hi, thanks for the reply, its an s reg tdi (i think??)

if its a 1.8 it could also be the cambelt tensioner or water pump bearing without inspection its hard to say.

Ye its a 1.8, ive been told it could be either of those things thank you! at least i know where to start now. oh sorry going to pick your brains again, do you have any idea as to the cost to get either of these fixed?

Sounds like either a belt slipping (simple fix) or the water pump bearing has gone (simple but more expencive fix).
