New noise, don't like!

[DaveDreads]

I know new noises are normal for clios
but this one has me a bit worried.

It's a spinning noise, like somethings wearing out,
my first thought is Aux belt or maybe alternetor?

The cars no longer starts first time in the morning so
maybe alternator.

The cars coming up to 70k so I know things start wearing out
at this point.

I hope to christ its not the flywheel.

Are there any noises that are associated with the things
ive mentioned?

does it change with revs? Where abouts is the noise coming from?

 

[DaveDreads]

Cant really tell where its coming from, deffinatly in frount
of me, its not too loud but I notice it when revs go over 2k.

The air con is in that area is it not?

 

[DaveDreads]

Its still there when I switch the airCon off.

Yeah guy at my work had a little problem that the air con was noisy when off. It was a the clutch inside the aircon pump.

Maybe worth getting your ear down there when it's making the noise just to check.

O.K will do, I hope it is the aircon I can live with that.

It's an easy fix if it is.

If it is the air con let me know i'll give you a tip on how to fix it.
