whining noise when idling

(1/2) > >>

GTIjames:
slight problem has arisen in last week or so  :sad:

noticed the car has started to make a slightly high pitched whining/screeching noise when i come to a stop, goes away as soon as I start to move again, but when I stop it starts up again whining away  :sad: no dash lights what so ever and car still running well.

anyone got any ideas what it may be?, or experienced this before?

got it booked in at jkm on monday for my new brakes to be fitted and an apr fuel pump so will get them to have a look but still a wee bit concerned

thanks

Could just be the belt tensioner getting as bit dry? or it wants adjusting as the belt is slipping ever so slightly?

The wheel man:
I get this from time to time also.........i just tell her to shup up  :grin: :grin: :grin:

MAT ED30:
spray abit of lube on the belts like wd40 and see if thats solves it

GTIjames:
thanks for the replies,

in regards to the belts is this the one if you have the bonnet up then its to the front of the engine drivers side?

as the noise seems to be coming from that area, is only noticed after i have been driving and I come to some traffic and stop and the screeching noise starts up, lower the window and it is more noticeable though as soon as i set off again it goes. when I have stopped to have a look under the bonnet while the engine is still running(dsg in P or N) the noise also stops. so is only occuring when in gear...

aargh engine probs!  :fighting:

hopefully jkm will fix it
