Squeaky fan belt / water pump belt ?
« on: February 23, 2011, 09:52:17 pm »
Is this a common thing on golf mk5 ?

when pulled up / stand still you can here one of the belts making squeak every turn of the belt,from cold and warm
anything i can do to stop it ? the car is a 57 plate with 56000 mile covered  is there something i can grease or replace
to stop this pikey noise coming from my car.

Thanks

Just do a search mate !

You need a new cam belt tensioner, very very common problem and just search squeak or bird in my engine bay !

All will be revealed !

If you have a nice garage who are willing to class it as a fault you will be covered, but technically it is not, it is just noisy  :surprised:

Love the vid ! That is defo your cam belt tensioner mate

I have the same problem with my ED30! From cold to warm it's there constant! Mine is an 07 and, VW customer service said they'll repla e it under warranty as I mentioned it whilst it was in warranty along wig replacing my steering rack! They tried to get me to contribute but, I declined as I mentioned it on several occasions and they did nothing!

just wanted to point out.

It was a nice day today (well this morning anyway) and once
the engine was warm the noise went,or at least got very quiet

would you all still recommend i still go to VW, when i called them they
said it shouldn't need it for 80k miles ! but they would want the car for 2 days
so they can find the fault / noise from cold and warm

Recived a call from my Dealer today,one of the pulley's has gone.

So they are going to do

Cam Belt and all Pulley's ect ect
Alternator Belt
Water Pump
Diverter valve or what they called it "Blow off valve" ??
Oil change and filter change

£1078   i will have to pay £278

Some parts i have to pay for as they are not covered under the warranty,but my aftermarket warranty
has covered pritty much everything else  :happy2:
