Hi I know this has been asked before but just wanted to make certain before visiting the stealers.
The car has started making this noise over the weekend:
I am kind of scared to drive it, but I have heard that a lot of people drive it with this squeeling noise and rattle noise and apparently its normal? It seems to be coming from the left hand side of the engine on the bottom hand corner there is a belt and a grey metal box.. This happens when I start the engine and also whilst at the traffic lights I can hear a noise which I believe is the belt or chain going round and round.
Sorry I have no idea about the engine, I have been trying to find a diagram online but cant
So I just want to confirm is this most likely to be the timing chain or timing belt? Could it be anything else? Is it ok to drive the car like this or should I get it fixed ASAP?
