Squeal when moving off\changing gear

[SteveS]

I get a squeal when moving off, it can also happen when changing gear to 2nd sometimes 3rd, (lower down the range happens more)
Cambelt was changed a couple of months ago.. they fecked that up being a notch out, but was resolved.

Is is likely the squeal and cam belt change are related?..

Anyone???

Auxillrary belt done too?

[SteveS]

I'm not sure, does that come under the cambelt\water pump change?

Should do    Its the belt that drives your alternator / ac pump

[SteveS]

Does it come under the cambelt or water pump?
If they change the waterpump do they change the belt with it..

[Tfsi_Mike]

The water pump is driven by the cam belt, the Aux belt is separate 

[SteveS]

Hmm, maybe I'm missing something, why would they have changed the aux belt if its not part of the cambelt or waterpump change?

When I had mine done at BDM,Alex did the aux belt as well. Not sure if VW do it though.

[SteveS]

Hmmmmmmmmm, I'm pretty sure it wasn't changed, i think i would know if it had been.
Dammit, how much does it cost to get that changed??

Only cheap mate.   Bout £11 for the belt and go back to who did your Cambelt and they may do it as a good will gesture for not doing it or suggesting you do it

Wishful thinking... this is VW Watford we are talking about Mike.  The belt might be 11 quid, but i bet it 1-2 hours labour.

Steve... have a look at the belt, does it look like its new (IIRC you only had the timing belt done over summer)

[SteveS]

haha, i laugh at that! I have had so many issues with my VW dealer who did the cambelt that there is 99% chance of sweet f a.
Still ill try pull something off, i think i have some credit.

Please tell me they don't have to lift engine up to replace?

[SteveS]

just vw cambelt change and waterpump change. no mention of aux.

excuse my stupidity, but how do i know I'm looking at the right belt? this isn't the one that you see right in front of you which goes round the alternator is it
