I have a squeal, and I can't track it down........I've had it for about a year, and assumed it was the fan/aux belt slipping.....

....I've had the cam belt, and all other belts changed, and that bloody squeal is still there.

Has anybody got any ideas??

Thanks

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

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??

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