 Posted: Fri Feb 04, 2005 5:14 pm Post subject: Squeak from Engine somewhere |
 |
|
Hi all.
I got a squeak coming from the p/s pump area. I sounds like it's low fluid, but the fluid level's fine.
It happens when the engine's warm, not cold from what I've noticed and is dissapears above about 1800RPM.
Any ideas? |

| I doubt it. Bearings get worse with speed, not better. |

| check all the belts, making sure they are not breaking up on you, also, make sure there is no oil on the belts, there is also a bearing in the adjustable pully for the power steering pump ... I've seen then brake up and sweak heaps. |

CRC Belt grip (It's in a green can) works great on dry noisy belts.
Just spray it on then start the car and leave idleing until noise dissapears. |

I was going to make a crack about a dehydrated mouse on a treadmill - but thought better of it. |

Kewel. I'll try the CRC. Thanks guys.
I've never seen a bearing get better, or quieter with increased speed in my experience. That's why I don't think it's a bearing. |

Try the 2 bearings inside the tensioner and a/c idler pulleys.
They go all the time - but you can replace just the bearing for $5 each from any parts place - don't have to buy the whole pulley assembly. |
