Super Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi guys, Getting peeved off with this to say the least! Getting a sort of squealing sound between 1600-1800rpm when in motion. At first I thought I could be rid of it by spraying some WD40 around the pulleys and belt. Now although this did actually make the tickover of the car quieter, it hasnt got rid of the squeal. I am pretty sure this is coming from the engine bay so not a wheel issue. Any ideas? Cheers, Jase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 the Crank pulley is the usual suspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Right, I'll get that on the priority list then, thanks guys! I would get that on to-do list for tommorow. You do not want to see your engine when crank pulley will split... And it will be VERY soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Shit! Anyone know who is best to get hold of one of these from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Can we hold the hysteria there for a mo? We don't even know for sure if it's the crank pulley that is the problem yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 True... Bare in mind I have ZERO mechanical knowledge, is there any way I can check this myself to determin if it needs replacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 You could draw/paint/crayon/tipex a line that crosses the inner and outer parts of the crank pulley and then see if the outer part has moved in relation to the centre after the car has been run. If the outer part isn't there it's safe to assume that the pulley is ripe for replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 OK cool, thanks Jake, most appreciated. Will give this a go tomorrow. Jase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
