Title: new car problems
Post by: fudy on 09 July 2011, 13:01:11

i picked up a 53 plate vectra c dti yesterday and this morning its started first time but there's a repeating squeak that went away after a couple of miles driving!? sounds like the aux belt to me but a guy at work said it could be the fuel pump :o!! ive heard the fuel pump is expensive fix! so im sat here work getting very worried because it was a private sale.

just started her up again and the noise is barely noticeable im sure its coming from the aux belt seems to change note when i rev the engine, also noticed that the alternator is a little bit noisy as well, so it could be that thats making the rubbing noise!?

Run the engine with the 'fan belt' and see if that makes a difference,  :-/ & go from there.  :y

Water Pump?  My Omega had a squeek that turned out to be a worn pump.

Spray all the pulleys you can see with WD40 and that may help.
