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?..
-
:fighting2:
-
Anyone??? :scared:
-
Auxillrary belt done too?
-
I'm not sure, does that come under the cambelt\water pump change?
-

Should do :happy2: Its the belt that drives your alternator / ac pump
-
Does it come under the cambelt or water pump?
If they change the waterpump do they change the belt with it..
-
The water pump is driven by the cam belt, the Aux belt is separate :happy2:
-
Hmm, maybe I'm missing something, why would they have changed the aux belt if its not part of the cambelt or waterpump change? :scared: :ashamed:
-
When I had mine done at BDM,Alex did the aux belt as well. Not sure if VW do it though.
-
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 :wink:

Wishful thinking... this is VW Watford we are talking about Mike. :grin: 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)
-
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?
-
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

lift engine up? you mean the plastic engine cover? Its quite easily accesible anyhow
It is the one around the alternator, yes :happy2:
-
Where are you based Steve
-
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
-
Perhaps try and get a video or sound clip?
-
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
-
Perhaps try and get a video or sound clip?
ill try, not sure it will pick it up. its only when moving, so the will probably get engine sound only..
-
Just for reference... this is a 2/3 week old aux belt.

-
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

-
:happy2: :signLOL:
-
Mike, did you post something? i had an email but no post visible..
-
Steve i can hear it... but I've not got the foggiest as to what it is. I recon that alex at BDM would be able to tell you what it is though.
Are you sure its not the DV or intake noise. Does it happen if you change gear off boost?ß
-
Its defo not a boost, air sound. its a squeal sounds like a belt on old care but not as bad obviously
-
:ashamed:
-
:ashamed:
Come on then... spill the beans! :signLOL:
-
No beans, need someone to come up with an idea... although it doesn't seem as bad with the fog.. lol.. foggy lube?
-
:confused:
-
What the heck was this????? Spill the beeenz.
-
no fix :(
-
Get another video up - the ones you posted earlier are now gone again.
