Hi guys,
I've got a squeek coming from somewhere on my engine. It seems to be coming from the region of the water pump pulley, but Im not perfectly sure. If I liberally spray WD40 on the shafts of the pullys in that region then it goes away. But im still not sure which one it is. Its a really quiet sqeeky, that sounds like a belt slipping but way to quiet. Is there a free running pully in that area that could be removed, greased and replaced. A mate of mine done it to his mates BMW the other day that had similar symtoms.
Any one had this?
Cheers
Gazza

What's the car's mileage? Mine does that, according to the engineer at Lexus Hanley it's due to a worn belt, tends to go away once the engine's warmed up. Bought a new belt, not got round to swapping it yet though.

Do they change the belts in a 60,000 mile service? How much are belts. Mine tends to go away once warmed up as well. The service guys didn't metion anything about the belts being worn on the service report.

You want to put some belt lube/dressing on the belts
