Noise Diagnosis (with video)
« on: 09 April 2010, 13:34 »
Hi guys, I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what this noise is, before I take my car down to the local VW garage.

It has became quite persistent over the last few weeks. In the video the car's engine is up to temperature having been driven approximately 10 miles in 30 - 40mph traffic. The car is an 06 GTi, and has covered nearly 32K miles.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

This. Good news is as it's roughly 4 years old it's about time it was done, cambelt + tensioner, so not too much of an inconvenience.

Is it the high pitched cheeep/ chirping noise you're concerned about?

Let us know of it fixes and maybe post an 'after' video?

Be good for anyone with this fault to present to a useless stealer as evidence to get it done, either in or out of warranty.

Yes, it's the high pitched squeaking noise that is worrying. It's certainly not ordinary.

I'll post a before and after video when the repair has been done.

Make sure they do the cambelt, tensioner AND water pump replacements at the same time!

I presume the cambelt tensioner would be done as part of a normal cambelt replacement?

The waterpump would be an additional cost?

This is what it is booked in for - http://www.sytner.co.uk/volkswagen/leeds/aftersales/aftersales-offers/cambeltofferall.aspx
