If its not related to the revs then it can't be a component in the engine! I can't think of any part which spins at a constant speed regardless of revs :undecided:

Imagine someone riding a bike with a squeaky wheel really slowly, its driving me insane  :grin:

I had a squeek from my Passat V5, changed a dodgy tensioner - still there, changed the aircon pump - still there, changed the other tensioners - still there. Loaded the tensioners with grease, bingo! Gone. WTF is yours, could be the fan housing???????????????????
