Squeal when moving off\changing gear

[Tfsi_Mike]

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?

lift engine up?  you mean the plastic engine cover? Its quite easily accesible anyhow

It is the one around the alternator, yes 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Where are you based Steve

[SteveS]

Watford way, Off junc 21 of M25 or 5 of M1.

I meant the engine, not the cover, to change the cambelt they remove the engine (lift it up)

So the Aux belt is the one round the alternator? Well ill take a look at it as its easy view on the left of engine and see what it looks like..

could any oil help here? I'm guessing not..

They don't remove the engine, its just supported due to having to remove the left engine mount.

The aux belt it the belt you can see on the left of the engine... the cam belt is under a cover so cannot be seen!

I'm pretty sure if you lubricate it, it will slip and you don't want that!

Water on it can cause it to squeal I think

[Tfsi_Mike]

Perhaps try and get a video or sound clip?

[SteveS]

Right cleared up. I will take a look at it.
Yes that's what i thought we would say about oil.

How hard of a job is this, i wonder if there is a how to somewhere.. hmm

[SteveS]

ill try, not sure it will pick it up. its only when moving, so the will probably get engine sound only..

[rich83]

Just for reference... this is a 2/3 week old aux belt.

[SteveS]

Looks pretty clean...

Oh and to add, this only happens when changing gear or moving off. Not on idle

Looks just as good as mine to be honest.

Found it hard to tell Chris.

Reminds me that lately Ive had a noise on cold start in line with the revs. Sounds as if a belt could be rubbing on plastic almost.  Im sure its not but its the best way to describe it.  Goes away when warmed up aswell.  Will see if it does it in the morning and get a video.

Chris?

Could you hear it in my sound clips? i could. you need to turn sound up, and bass down if u can. but from my laptop is was easy enough to hear at those seconds mentioned
