Hi There
I have a problem and i really need some help. Basicley i have a Squeel under my bonnet which is somewhere along the Aux Belt line. The car has been to pumabuild / Ford and Tremona Ford and it seems its not easy to fix as no one can tell me where the problem lies. The Aux belt has been replaced 3 times in the last 6 months and that usually takes the problem away for around 250 miles then it comes back to its full glory. I only last week had a new Pulley ( the one at the top of the engine ) but that hasnt fixed the problem. So next Tremona RS ford have suggested the Tensioner and a new belt but again they have said this could not be the problem.
Other than being the tensioner / belt what could it be ? What else runs on the same line. It sounds like its coming from the top at the back which i belive is the water pump ? But the guy @ tremona garage says it cant be that.
I really cant afford to keep throwing money at "maybes", if i did that i could spend £1000 + replacing working bits but no one seems to be able to find a way to actually "diagnose" the problem once and for all and as you can hear from the video clip its simply un drivable with the current "squeel" It drives me CRACKERS !!!
The Noise NEVER dissapears, Hot / Cold / Wet / Dry its allways there
When im driving along if i depress the clutch the noise will dissapear or be a lot quieter, Tremona ford think this is because the load is being taken off the engine which supports the tensioner / belt slip idea.
Anyway heres a video which is around 10mb which i took tonight get ready to put your fingers in your ears folks -
