VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Probably a visual inspection is needed. Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Get a long metal screwdriver and press the end against the running chain cover and your ear to the other end and listen for a metalic resonating sound. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 as above mate might be worth an oil change if you havent done one recently and its sounding a bit noisy ? Link to post Share on other sites

Antihero1981 8 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 seems to be more of a noise when i accelerate......will be doing the chain check the next few days Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 well doesnt sound like the ones on youtube , noise more alternator/power steering pump way......might be a bearing in either those 2 , might drop the slack off the belt and then give them spin....anyone else had this?

VR6Nat 9 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 it might be the belt tensioner pulley, its a ten min job to swap over, just slacken the belt off n give it a spin first to make sure it is that. Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 mmmmm Nope..dont have one , charge is in its place......will slacken it off anyway and have a feel around... Link to post Share on other sites
