Gazjs Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I have an ever so slight squeak coming from my engine bay. I am guessing its coming from the belt system, is it possible to grease/oil the system up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 does it squeak all the time? or is it just when you go to move off sorta thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Its like almost impossible to hear, i just hate noises basically to hear it, i have both windows down, radio and fans off. It squeaks all the time, stationery and when moving but seems to disappear once the car has warmed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 i know the feeling, and when you try to tell someone 'listen' they look at you like your alien its possibly a tensioner or bearing then? probably impossible to diagnose without actually being there. has it just started or has it been happening for a while?

Gazjs Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Its just started over the last few days. If its any help i doubt anything has been replaced before i had the car and its done 63000 ish now. I opened the the bonnet and had a listen the other day and would say its def the belt area .....

stef123 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 its probably a bearing or tensioner then, keep an eye on it, or an ear as the case me be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 I am going to give the fan belt a spray with some WD40, see if that does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont spray that on the belt :o that will make it slip if your going to put anything on the belt use talcum powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Not this time sounds like 'you know who's' kind of advice wd40 will damage the belt, and more than likely cause it to slip. I suspect your problem lies with one of the bearings and not the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
