Aux belt squeaking

[redroze]

I had those squeakings for long time so got my clio into garage for an Aux belt + Cam belt change.
In the garage they didn't noticed the noise before they changed it.
What they do told me is that the noise coming from the Alternator bearing, that's what they think.

Is it dangerous to go on a track day with this problem on my back?

I've found a video so you can hear the noise I'm talking about.

In this video the noise is a bit louder. Mine makes a squeak every half a second.

Help needed guys!

Could be anything to do with cambelt or aux belt.

What garage did you use? Did they use genuine renault parts and did they change the tensioner and idle pulley on the aux belt?

I would only use a specialist or a renualt dealer to change the cambelt and aux belt. It could be a bearing my alternator bearing whistles.

The Job was done at the Renault dealer, with Renault Aux kit + Cambelt kit.
I know for sure that they changed the tensioner, but I'm not sure for the idle pulley. Is it coming with the Renault Aux kit?

I guess that my alternator bearing squeeking. I read alot about this and all I see is that the alternator bearing whistles, like yours.
Can I keep driving in this situation or should I go to garage asap?

Can I have a picture of the idle pulley?
English is not my mother-language so I don't really know what the meaning.

if they changed the tensioner then chances are they changed the idle pully as its part of the aux belt kit. Part would have been about £140 for aux belt kit??

It may be another bearing somewhere else whistling i'm also trying to find the one thats whistling on mine.

I've got some news.

The noise stops when I turn on the A/C.
It means I have to fix the compressor or change the pulley?
Does the pulley comes with the aux kit?
