Guest Budz86 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) Hi guys Just a quick one, I have used the search but not really found anything that relates to this. Noticed in the past few days I'm getting a slight squeak from what I think is a belt, but could be wrong. It happens when I accelerate (slow or hard), but only sometimes. Seems to be coming from the passenger side of the engine bay, but havn't had a chance to have the bonnet up and get someone else to rev it so I can have a listen yet. Any idea's initially what this could be? Thought it was the tension but have since found out they are auto-tensioning (sp?) Also, getting some white smoke on start-up when cold. Havn't driven it for long periods so don't know if it goes, but it is lasting for the 5-6 miles I drive it at a time. Hoping this is due to it not being warmed up properly and I'm just being over-cautious. Any advice appreciated. Thanks Dean Edit: Doubt this but could it be due to the wheel nuts not being tightened properly? Changed them the other day but am still waiting for my torque wrench to be delivered so not sure if they are tightened correctly Edited September 24, 2008 by Budz86 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Get some belt lube mate. Cheapest way to rule out the auxy belt. Mine squeaked. Spelling was fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Belt lube? Where would this be obtained? The local halfrauds I take it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Belt lube? Where would this be obtained? The local halfrauds I take it? Think so mate. If you can't get it there try Opie Oils and if not that then some spray on silicone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Actually just googled that and the spray silicone is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Nice one andy, I'll have a look. Fingers crossed this sort's it. Is there any particular part of the belt I should spray/not spray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
