Squealing noise from engine (fixed)

Post by bilko1 » Sat Aug 14, 2021 8:06 pm

I had an annoying intermittent squeal from the engine last time I went out, convinced myself it was the power steering pump on its last legs. Today I decided to investigate and try and fix it. Turns out the plastic idler pulley for the Aux drive belt has been moving on the bearing and rubbing on the engine block. Anyway 3 hours later and £40 to the Audi gods and its fixed.

Satisfying. And probably saved yourself a headache when it failed.
