draper40 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Just after my 200tdi has started it emits a high pitched squeal like noise before returning to normal. What is this? Is it just the starter motor disengaging? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 is the PAS belt & Alternator/fan belt adjusted right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draper40 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 There is currently no front cover and so no belts except timing belt! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 probably the timing belt tensioner bearings complaining then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draper40 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 But would that not be all the time, as it is only for like 1/2 a second. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, belts will sometimes squeal just after startup due to cold or condensation etc. Check them for tension / glazing etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
