Hi Guys,
just need some advice please…
This last week I’ve noticed a whining / grinding noise coming from the aux area. Looking at some of the post and YouTube videos it appears the likely culprit is the idler pulley. I’ve order this and a PCV value too.
It gets worse…
On my way to work today I thought my aux belt split and come off due to the noise it was making and a strong burning smell started to come through. I pulled over as soon as I could and switched the engine off and opened the bonnet. To my horror the aux belt was still in tacked and in good condition!! I inspected the engine bay for anything obvious but couldn’t find anything.
I tried to start the car again and it won’t turnover. Plenty of power in the battery too.
I’m thinking it could be the timing chain has snapped but the car was running until I switched the engine off and there were no major bangs etc
im in the process of finding a decent garage before I call the AA. Any thoughts or advice please?
cheers
