Arrrgghh!!!!!!! bloody squeal.....

could it be your brakes? like when does it happen.. maybe the belts are fine but somewhere their rubbing against something... could be your cooling fans rubbing something when they come on... i had a horrible squeel, something would rub against my rotors and i'd have to slam the brakes hard to make it go away

did you already change out your timing belt? maybe that could be it.

Definatly not the brakes, I've spent all saturday re-furbishing them, due to me being a lazy arse and never changing the brake fluid!!

It only happens at medium throttle, possible at WOT, but I can't hear it due to my CAI. at light throttle it doesn't squeal.

Any other ideas??

any chance your AC is on when u hear the squeal?
or maybe just try some belt dressing on all of your belts

happens with the A/C on or off, I'll try the belt dressing, but i've had all the belts changed, and it still squeals.

Damn irritating too, it's at my favourite throttle position

yeah i know what you mean, i get a weird squeak when my AC is on, but it happens at all different times, some times it just happens, but most of the time it happens when shifting into 2nd and 3rd
pretty weird, but im not worried cuz it only happens w/ ac on

it could be your alternator belt dude

well it could aslo be 3 possible things since it hass happened to me.

1) AC compressor(on/off) main bearing
2) Aternator bearings
3) distributor bearings.


these all squelled but not at idle only at medium to full throttle.

Thanks for the info, It's probably not the Dizzy bearing, cos I had A new one about 2 years ago.......350 quid

How easy was it to change the alternator Bearing and/or the AC compressor main bearing??

I had to cheange the whole AC compressor and Alt. due to the bearing damaging the shafts but its not hard at all if you have pmechanical skills

Thanks for the ideas, I'll probably put doing them off for a bit, but at least it gives me an idea

Richard

hehehehhe i wish i could help honestly but the only thing that i thought of was the timming belt

anyways goodluck
