surfer.vr6 0 Posted February 12, 2005 my 2lit 16v has developed a sqealing noise from the cambelt area, when i pushed the upper cam belt cover in it stopped, so i removed the cover the noise has now returned, have ruled out cambelt tensioner and the belt is not overtightened any ideas? .

roo 0 Posted February 12, 2005 It could be the belts that drive the alternator or power steering pump that's making the racket, mine did this when I bought it IIRC. It may be worth spraying a bit of WD40 on them (not the cambelt though) to see if it stops the noise. I think I had to get new belts to fully sort it though.
