Clio 182- Noise Diagnosis



  Arctic Clio 182 FF
Got a 182, and a few noises. Just wondering what they may be,...its a low mileage car,05-plate, only 36k, had it two months...


The first issue is at low speed in a low gear, at say car park speed, just when crawling really and mooching for a space/manoeuvring- its the sound of say a slipping aux belt- a sort of sqeaky sqeal...it does it at slightly higher speed too now, in say third gear/20mph...its had cambelt done, what else could this be? Its not when on full lock either just to note.

The second issue is a noise from approximately behind the glove box in the engine- if im in gear, coasting, its fine, but when I blip the throttle i get a tinny/zingy unusual noise from the area mentioned...its only quiet, (radio is currently broken) but its only just started to appear....I suspect a heat shield but unsure.

In fact at 70mph, in 4th, this eve, when throttle applied, its more prominent I discovered. The dealer tightened up the heat shield just recently, near the manifold apparently (my technical knowledge is poor) however I was unaware it was loose.

In the Clio 182, is there an auxiliary belt of some sort on the passenger side under the battery/ in that area?

Any ideas guys? It's going in tomorrow, is under warranty but want some ideas of what it could be.

Thanks for feedback in advance.
