172 squeeky noise - cambelt area

[Martin_172]

Gibson172 has a kinda squeek/grind noise coming from the cambelt side of the engine my mechanic mate had a look and recon'd it was a cambelt pully (think that was what he said it was?) sound possible? so whats needed in parts to do the job? just a cambelt kit? does this inc the aux belt? anything else worth doing while its getting done

cars done 30k i think

cheers

yea most likely a tensioner/idler.

camblet kit includes tensioners and a belt. no aux belt.

also check the lower aux belt idler pulley. they get full of dirt and seize up.
