wierd noise from engine

[micallef1990]

just wondering if anybody could tell me what the squeeking could be from my engine. its coming from the belt that you can see when you have the hood up. when i rev the car to around 2.5 rpm the noise goes. cheers guys. car is at 64.0000 miles

timing belt maybe ? am no mechanic btw, just a guess from previous experience lol

 

[micallef1990]

think it is the timing belt is really loud and squeeky when my car is at idle i just thought it was because it was cold

It won't be the timing belt.

If that was slipping, you'd have a little more than a squeek coming from there!!

Probably a slipping Aux belt.

 

[micallef1990]

does it mean it is about to snap if it is slipping?? sorry am one s**t assed mechanic

 

[Bluebeard]

Not really.

I'd get it changed as a matter of priority though. Prevention is better than cure and all that.

 

[clio_greg]

i'd get it seen too asap if i was you mate. anything to do with belts is dodgy a think !

 

[micallef1990]

think my car needs its cambelt done too. and i got tax this month .

 

[clio_greg]

gutter mate ! typical, all comes at the one time !

 

[Bluebeard]

PX it.

Get a new one!

 

[micallef1990]

was thinking that. dont know what car to get if i doo. how much do you think my car would be valued at

 

[Bluebeard]

No idea mate.

But Cambelt/auxbelt/service/road tax is going to cost about £500! FLOL!

A rough guide for you.
