Noise from pulley area

only guessing as not heard before, quite sharp sound so hopefully external like alternator bearing, air con pump bearing or belt idle pulley bearing, maybe nurse to garage for scrutinising

 

Try spraying wd40 on the belt as its running that should tell you if its a tensioner, guide etc if it goes away if the noise is still there then its either inside the air con pump, alternator or inside the timing casing.

 

Mine sounded a little like this before the cam belt change, although not as loud! (The video could be exaggerating it) . I believe early 250’s has a problem with noisy cam-belt/aux belt tensioner?

 

The file no longer works, can you maybe relink it. I think I am having the same issue.

Did you ever solve it?

 

still works for me

 

Hmm, maybe I need to try it from home.

 

are you on a mobile? im on a pc

 

PC but at work. Maybe a firewall blocking it, dunno.
