supra_surj Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hi Guys! On the way back tonight from our London run i started getting a strange whining / screeching sound coming from the engine. The steering got quite rough and I could feel a vibration in the pedals. I stopped and looked under the bonnet. The sound appears to be coming from where the cam belt is. Could this be the cam belt on its way out? The importer i got it from "apparantly" changed this last Jan but I have nothing in writing proving this. Or is it something to do with the power steering? pump maybe? Any help will be much appreciated. Surj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Almost certainly your crank pulley has sheared. Get it checked/changed ASAFP One member crashed his car when the pulley came off recently, due to total loss of power steering. Yours is probably just slipping at the moment but it could come off at any moment. Also, the pulley can do a lot of damage (rad, fan, bonnet, etc) when it comes off, depending on revs and/or luck at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
