mk3 gti 2.0L 8v engine noise

[handubgtimk3]

Hi,

I have a 94 mk3 gti 8v, it has around 124k on the clock and is still going strong but lately I have noticed a high pitch scraping or bearing noise at about 2400rpm and goes away at 3000prm from the engine, maybe it the tappets or alterator bearings
has anybody had the same problem I'd be grateful for any info.

Cheers
Lloyd.

Thanks for the message golfvr6,

but i changed the timing belt and the tenisoner 5k ago,

 I thought that was the problem too, but its still there! maybe theres somthing stuck in the air flow to the engine??

the pull just in front of the tensioner as you look from the front of the car been told it a bearing behind it haven't looked yet looks like a nice day or undercover job let you know when i look  trouble is about 4 things come of the timing of bottom pull which has to come of  i have GTI 2Lt 8v
