Theres always something wrong grr! lol
Ok I have a loud squeaking coming from the engine bay.. I have determined this by rolling up the windows and noise cant be heard as much. It squeaks on cold starts...
Iv checked the tension on my belts and they appear to be fine if anything slightly tighter than should be but nothing too drastic
Iv tried spraying wd40 at different pulleys to get rid of the noise. But it still does it when sitting in neutral and revving, however when in first gear and planted it doesnt make a noise.
Noise usually squeaks for about 3-5mins and goes away for rest of the journey.
When changing my tires I had the mechanic try and pinpoint where the noise was coming from he thinks its from one of the top two pulleys.
These pulleys arent oem they are Ams lightweight pulleys. Also the one at the top near the centre of the engine has a little play in it..could this be the cause of all the noise. The thing is when it squeaks its not just a quiet one.. its louder than anything and is very embarassing.
It tends to do it when its raining..I dont know if this is a coincidence or not.
However if it is the pulley bearing. Will it be the ams pulley that will need replacing or is it the bit that it attaches to? As im sure when I had them out the box there wasnt any bearing or anything on the pulley, it was just a solid piece of metal with no moving parts.
Please help me someone.. im at the end of my patience with this car... I cant seem to remember a time it has run perfect lol
