Well the noise which i blamed the belts ended up was the exhaust had a split in the centre box (now sorted) odd noise every now and again!! Just passed the MOT :approve::approve::approve: Ive replaced the rear shockers, fan belt, and both track rod ends !! But will be selling the car soon!

Because ive been ohh replace the fan belt he says paid to get it done drove it round the corner just did the exact same problem!

Noise is back and its really starting to P**S me off!!! drove to the hospital was fine 10 mins in the noise starts going for it each time i lift of the accelerator its a long eeeery noise, whistles the lot has anyone got any proper ideas from the video?

Got told its the bearing on the alternator seems to have done the trick...

My point exactly silly comments it says 'toothbrush' not a wire brush a soft toothbrush.. and guess what? it worked the noise has gone took it on a 10-15 mile ride not one noise! must of been speckles of grease on the belt and ive brushed them off!

RIGHT... been under the bonnet today got myself a jug of warm water and a toothbrush and scrubbed most of the timing belt turned the car over scrubbed more etc... took the car for a 10 minute spin it screeched once when i got to the bottom of the street and that was it im PRAYING that ive found...

It does it when im driving but when i take my foot off the pedal.... im starting to think some of the degreaser has gone onto the the cam belt sooo tomorrow im going to inspect that maybe get the engine steam cleaned!

http://youtu.be/25G4TJlafAQ <<< Video skip it too about 1:50 in and thats when its starts squeeling this was about 10 minutes after i started driving the car so the engine warmed up

It doesnt make the noise in neutral, say im going 30mph and i lift my foot off the accelerator it starts squeeling soon as i touch the pedal it goes.. let go its there.. put it on it goes! Sooo you could be right with cam belt might have to just inspect it

Thanks guys to the normal responses some right mongs on here with their childish responses... thanks for the video see mine doesnt do that on start up it tends to proper squeek when im in gear and my foots off the accelerator (going at speed) also noticed it only does it after the engines warmed...

Changed the fan belt NO CHANGE WHAT SO EVER!! Soo that rules the fan belt out what could it be?

Sorted the fan belt out... ermm right i have a FK Grill with LEDs fitted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FK-ABS-SPORT-FRONT-HOOD-GRILL-GRILLE-RENAULT-CLIO-TYP-B-01-06-BLACK-RN401-/400279327337?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d3281d269 brand new in box anyone any use for it im not...

Yeah im agreeing with Gritch guys £12 for a new belt picking it up thursday and replacing it no pointing cutting corners ive inspected it and i can see a few lines in it so im just going to change it whats the timing belt change like how much to do? heard its 75k miles! I probably could change...

You ever drove through a puddle and your car squeeks like mad its bit like that il get a tooth brush on it and then rub a bar of soap on it il take my chances the belt is new... its just a bit of lubricant on it i will let you know if it does the trick!!

Got to be another way of doing it though surely
