Hi all, a couple of weeks ago I posted a thread about a squeeking sound coming from my fan belt whilst stationary at a set of lights or similar, I put some wet soap on the belt and it went away for a couple of days but now strangely enough it doesn't make a sound whilst stationary now but as I accellerate the sweeking sound gets louder, yesterday i put a lot of wet soap on it and the noise went away again but today its back again.
The fan belt is only a couple years old, could it be completely stuffed ?
as I know my original belt lasted about 8 years.
Is there a way of checking if the belt is nackered or could there be another reason for this awfull sqeeking noise.
I remember years ago a friend had the same model as mine and said he had to put a new timing chain in his at 100,000 klm's, mine has done 203,000 and never been changed yet, just a very wild uneducated guess but wondering if the wet soapy fan belt could take the strain of a nackered timing chain ?
I just don't know what to do, i wouldn't like changing the belt if it was something else causing it,[ money is tight on a pension]
appreciate any help.
thanks
