Sefton-EP91 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I have just started to get a screeching noise from cold, it's not a belt noise, it sounds like a bearing or something along those lines. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sefton-EP91 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's only when the car is cold, it definatly not the release bearing. it sound like its coming from the bottom near the alternator..? Where is the water pump on a 98 spec glanza? Isn't it near the alternator at bottom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan5793 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Mine does this too, changed the alternator belt and its better but still does it a little when its been sat for a while in damp weather Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dangeestarlet Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 bottom pulley mines the same, open the bonnet and start the car and look down at the bottom inside pulled and rev it and youl see it move back and fore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'll check that out tomorrow, if your right.. Does this mean a new pulley? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sefton-EP91 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) I'll check tomorrow and then I'll let you know what I find. Thank you for the info though. Mine does this too, changed the alternator belt and its better but still does it a little when its been sat for a while in damp weatherMight have to change this as well. If it goes then thumbs up if not then Ill have to keep looking gna check the bottom pulley as well like dangeestarlet said.

Sefton-EP91 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I know this is an old thread but this noise seems to be coming from my PAS Pump I'm not convinced that its coming from the bottom pulley but I'm very grateful for your guys input. Has anyone experienced anything like this? It's getting very frustrating. Are the pumps on the n/a the same as glanza? Thank you guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 This happened to me the other day whilst cornering slow, sounded like it came from the drivers side, PAS area?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Mine does it when cold. Are the pumps the same as the n/a pumps? It sounds like its coming from that area. I just hope I don't replace it and it ends up being the alternator pulley.. Are they very common on glanzas, the alternator pulley? Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm sorry for doubting you guys but you are right. It's coming from my bottom pulley. It's just slightly catching on the timing cover. The crankshaft oil seal is now seeping oil which means stripping it down for repairs AGAIN! This is probably A silly question but because the seal has gone would this suggest that the crank in moving side to side? Although the rear main oil seal is fine? Thank you.
