2.5 n/a 944 belt whine????
Discussion
Hmmm its starting to get to better of me.
I replaced both belts and all the rollers and tensioners when I got my car as someone had really made a mess up of the belt end of the engine.
All the covers were missing, the chromed plate guid was missing from the cambelt and the idler for the balance belt was missing. Thinking back its a miriacle it didn't go bang!
Anyways I've replaced the lot but me and the mechanic at work can't stop the bugger from whining!!!
There's a question mark over the balnce belt tensioner. Is it supposed to be rotated clockwise to tension (so the tensioner is pointing downwards) or is it supposed to be pointing upwards and anti clockwise?
The book at work I have (autodata) only lists the 2.7 with auto tensioner. It says to rotate the balance belt tensioner anti clockwise but doing this on mine gives the belt a rather tight route to turn and prevents us from positioning the idler with the required 1.0 and 0.5 mm clearance but if I position the tensioner the opposite way to this the clearance's is too large for the idler to fill.
I've tried slackening the belt right off but the whine remains (I mean REALLY loose!) and tensioned it as tight as I dare but again the whine remains????? I've read of a few people hearing a whine develop shortly after a belt change so I'm guessing this is because of the belt getting slack so if a whine is occuring I'm assuming tighter is the order of the day?
I'm stumped!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to have one last play with it and if not it's book her in time.
Anyone know any experianced tech's in the fareham/southampton area of Hampshire?
