Mine is making a similar noise, except faster if you know what i mean. I bought a new alternator belt there, was gonna fit it and see if that sorted it, but i was thinking it could be some of the bearings in the pulleys too?

will try taking the powersteering belt off and see if that makes a diffrence, if not it must be cambelt related but the only thing thats not new there would be the crank seal and the intermediate shaft seals and bearings which sound like a right ass to do

Yep, mine still makes that noise even though I have replaced the V-Belt that does the power steering pump, water pump and AC. I reckon it's just the actual pulley that makes that noise. The belt is brand new.

Mine turned out to be the cambelt rubbing on the inside of the cover, the cover had bowed inwards with age.

Hey

I´ve got a similar noise. Could you watch my video and tell me please, if
it is the same noise as yours ?


Here is the Video: youtube.com/watch?v=K5SqsCeX9ks


Could you make a photo of the cover, which the belt was rubbing on.

Thank you very much.

Yes, mine also needs some minutes. I guess it happens, when the belt is getting warmer.
Could you solve the problem ?

Hi

thx for your reply. After a long run on the german Autobahn the noise went off. But after a few days it comes back again...:cry:

I hope its not the water pump - i dont want a damage on the engine.
Please tell me, if you can solve it ;)
