Belt squeal at high RPM
Discussion
Hi all
Just bought a cheap Audi 80 for a bit of Bangernomics.
I'm trying to sort out a few niggles (nothing that stops the car driving well, just minor annoyances).
I noticed the other day that I get a bit of a squeal in all gears when the engine is revved at around 4k rpm or more. Is this likely to be one of the aux belts? I read in the WD40 thread that spraying WD40 onto the belt may help.
Is this a good idea, or any other suggestions?
Apologies for what is most likely a stupid question, but I'm a novice trying to learn a little!
Thanks
