Squeaky Scooby

[Garth W]

As above really! My scoob has developed a really annoying squeak from the front of the engine, ive took the drivebelts off and it still does it! The noise is intermittent it doesn't really do it when its idling or when i give it some welly but it does it when its revved up stationary and when its driven normally, does anyone know what it could be cos its doin my swede in and its really embarrasing! Someone please help me!!!

Water pump can squeak when it's got a leak, usually the seals, perhaps you might check it just in case?

I hadnt thought of that! Someone said to me the cambelt tensioners get abit squeaky when they get old Oh well im gonna take it down to my mates shop tomorrow so we can have a look at it, hopefully it wont be anything bad! Cheerz for the info peeps

Get some thinnish rubber tube and stick a metal rod in one end.

Stick the other end to your ear and touch the rod to the side of the engine in various places. It works like a stethascope and allows you identify where the noise is withoit getting your ear ripped off.

Yeah its prob cheaper than a stethascope too! cheerz for the advice bud!
