squeeling on start up of nj pajero

Post by stro »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when i start the pajero there is a squeeling noise. it sounds sort of like a loose fan belt, but its not. could the pulley on the alternator make that sort of noise?

What makes you certain it's not a fan belt. The multi rib belts can be very tight and still squeal.

Isolate to what ancilary it could be by removing one belt at a time. I'd guess alternator belt.

If you have pulled all the belts off then it can't be the alternator!

It must be coming from behind the timing cover and is something I'd get checked out smartly such as a siezed water pump which could break the cam belt.......

I second the starter motor not releasing quick enough - remove it and give it a clean; it's not a hard job.

So its not the starter, not any of the ancilaries on the front of the motor(alternator, P/S, A/C or their idlers).....

Maybe if it is driving you that crazy you should get it checked and possibly save yourself alot of money. :roll:
