EvilDaifu Cruise Whore Moderating Team 5,130 Member For: 19y 8m 28d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 09/10/10 09:45 AM Share Posted 09/10/10 09:45 AM Did a search and could not find anything on this, but wondering if anybody has encountered this before - when I start up from cold, I get a squeaking noise from the engine bay. When I lift up the bonnet, it sounds like one of the pully wheels that the belt wraps around is squeaking and it sounds loudest from the right hand side of the engine bay as I stand in front looking into the engine bay. Only happens when engine is cold. As the engine warms up (prolly after about 5km of driving) the squeaking noise goes away and stays away whilst the engine is warm, even after I stop and start the engine again.Because the squeaking noise goes away when the engine is hot, I am not so worried, but not sure if I should be worried.

Otherwise bunnings should have something just ask someone there.

I got it fitted at Pit Lane Performance. Tell you what - it's sooooo good now not having that squeaking noise anymore. And to be honest, it's a bit like a ticking time bomb along with the crack in my fan belt - you never know when it decides to break but you'll know it'll be at an inconvenient time So might as well get it sorted out now whilst you can plan for it in my opinion.Looking back now - I reckon I could hear that squeaking sound from the idle pulley since when I bought the car about 1 1/3 years ago - just that it had recently gotten louder - possibly after the skid pan day Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70993-squeaking-noise-from-engine-pullybelt/#findComment-1051090 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If different would anyone know the part number of this also?
