carrots 1 Posted March 2, 2013 it sounds more like the belt hitting the cover but only for a few mins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wullie 1 Posted March 3, 2013 Probably best to whip the cover off and have a look for any marks inside, or anything else out of place. It's only a couple of bolts, max two skinned knuckles and ten cuss words. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wullie 1 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) yer i should have a look,i will be well p-ssed off if it snaps the belt.thing is why does it only do it from cold It's a Corrado, they do things like that just to annoy you or get attention. It may be something to do with heat or expansion of bits but I really haven't a clue as to why. Seriously though, given the slightly disastrous consequences if the belt goes I would have a look ASAP. While in that area I would also give the crankshaft pully bolt a check as well. Have you tried using a long screwdriver as a stethoscope substitute to try and tie down the location of the noise.
