Zugara Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Have you tightened the belts to their correct tension? Sounds like thats what it is too me.. You may be getting belt slip when the conditions are correct. Quote

If you didnt have the noise before the belts were changed and now you do, after the belts have been changed, in my opinion it MUST be the belts out of correct tension. Quote

Roo Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Mine started making a noise after about 4 months but only in cold conditions at first. Garage will be able to check the tension for you - had mine adjusted an is now fine But it was when cold which does happen with new belts sometimes. When the bonnet is up and the engine is running, are you able to hear where it is coming from. Could it be one of the rollers? I know on cambelts they recommend changing the rollers and tensioners sometimes not sure about zeds and the aux belts. But it may point towards a cause. Quote
yokomo Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 Aha fixed it ! No idea how but the noise was caused by / coming from my catch can ! Removed one of the connections and put the near side cable cover back to stick venting and no more squealing . Quote
