Gilb666

i did check the belt, it seems very tight already (a fair bit tighter than the alt belt on my 'rocco) - also a screw was missing from the top of the tensioner, i've replaced this, but hasn't made much difference. Initialy a squeak did seem to be coming from around there, but was quiet after the water pump was replaced. since the noise now only happens when i'm moving, its so difficult to be sure where its coming from. i had (possibly prematurly) dismissed this as the noise happens when i'm going dead straight. @supercharged - Thanks for the advice dude, i didn't know they did free tests on things like that! I'll be booking it in there!

The car has been to my local garage, who couldn't figure it out, and refered me to my local VW specailist, JBS auto designs car has been to them several times (they did most of the work listed above) each time, within a few days, the noise returns.

Hi everyone I've had my VR6 around 6 months now, and have had a strange squeak almost since day 1 It only happens when i'm going straing or to the right, even the slightest bit to the left stops it, and it also stops when accelerating Squeek seems to get faster related to road speed, and does not stop when breaking or pressing the clutch I've had CV joints and wheel bearings and water pump replaced at the recommendation of my local vw specialist, and also a front calliper as that had seized The car was quet for a day or two after replacing both the wheel bearing, and the calliper, but always returns. The noise appears to be coming from the front right wheel. please help as its driving me insane! :cuckoo: Thanks in advance Marcus
