SMiFFAD Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Every other time i start the car, i get a loud, split second screech (like a dog yelping). Doesnt do it every time, although more often than not. If had a good look round it this morning, and cant find where its coming from, but seems towards the back of the engine/GB area. Any suggestions what this might be? car drives fine, bit stumped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Sounds like your auxillary belt is worn. Its the belt that runs the PAS, alternator A/C etc, Simple enough to remove and replace, Remove it and start the car again and see if it goes..

SMiFFAD Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Crank pulley slipping and about to die? how would the crank pully slip? And surly that would knock the timing out completly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 No the crank pulley is in 2 parts, and its no way connected to your timing well it is, but it isnt, as it only drives the AUX belt. The outer part is glued to the inner part, and they can split and move around, click the highlighted crank pulley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMiFFAD Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 ooooooooh i seeeeeeeee... Dont think it will be that, as the noise is from the back of the engine, but i will check again in a mo - cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMiFFAD Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 and it issssss *drum roll* Crack pully, well diagnosed Ric Put a dab of tippex on both parts, turned it on, wacked on the ac full chat and turned the wheel fast, got a squeek. On cheching my tippex marks, they have parted company - so that needs replacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a fair bit of punishment to get it to move, so as long as i keep the ac off it only slips when i start it. Plus due to the warmer weather the rubber must be doing a better job of holding on, as it rarely screeches on start at the moment. I have a friend in the trade getting me a price for a new one, should get it atleast 15% lower than Mr T prices "every little helps" Was going to get one off NIC, but obviously i need one a little sooner than 4-5 weeks now, DOH. Sure i cant fix it with JB weld and fibregalass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
