theminiguru Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction with a really annoying noise coming from my engine! it appears when the engine is warm, its coming from one of the pulleys. it sounds like a dry bearing on one of the pulleys and when you rev the car it gets a little louder and faster? i have changed the alternator thinking it was that and its not that, i have been told its most likely the water pump....has anyone had a similar noise accur on there car and found the solution! really annoying me!any help is appreciated.thanks ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 May well be the tensioner or it may just be a case of the cambelts been put on too tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 it may just be a case of the cambelts been put on too tight. ;) could be the alt belt mine did this was a awful high pitch sound when put revs on gets louder.. tighting the belt up or get it replaced if it is old/worn! also pull the belt a wei bit to see if it is loose!

theminiguru Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 May well be the tensioner or it may just be a case of the cambelts been put on too tight.i did think it was the tensioner on the cam belt, sounds like its coming from there! the bloke i bout it off fitted the cam belt kit himself before i bought it so its possible he over tightened it! is there anyway i can adjust it or is it a case of replacing the whole kit!
