250 Concerning noise - belt area

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by -Chris-, Dec 28, 2015.

  1. My car has been stood up for a few weeks, in hibernation in my garage. Anyway, I've been popping down to the garage every now and then to run it up for ten minutes or so and I've noticed a concerning noise coming from the area of the cam / aux belt area, like a rubbing / scuffing noise on idle. The noise disappears instantly when revved.

    My car is a Jun 10 on 41k. Belt service is due next summer, by time not mileage.

    I took a video on my phone this morning but not sure how best to post it.

    Any ideas. I'm scared to drive the bloody thing now in case something sizes or snaps.
     

  2. to preserve quality - upload it to Youtube first - then just make it 'unlisted' and post it here mate
     
  3. Any ideas?
     
  4. sounds like a pulley, possibly an idler ir the tensioner. sounds a bit 'dry'.
     
  5. My initial thoughts too. Might try and have a closer look tomorrow.
