thanks mate

My ED30 has just been into VW for this very issue - the first time I took it in they said they couldn't herar anything and that it was the injectors sounding and the throttle body depressurising.  Took it back a second time and they used a listening device / amplifier to try and work out what it was.  Turns out the high pitched squeeking was the clutch system on the alternator pulley - they either changed the entire alternator or the enitre clutch drive for the pulley - and hey presto noise has disappeared.

Your problem sounds exactly like this - mine was all changed under warranty.

Regards,

Gareth

thanks for that

little bit concerned about takin mine to the dealers as when they look under the bonnet they will see my mods and bye bye any warranty claim and those bits sound expensive... not good

did they give you an idea how it occurred? and how much the parts were?

thanks again

garethmk1:
I can't remember whether it was the clutch system on the pulley or the entire alternator system .... so no - no idea of cost was replaced under warranty - hmmm as for your mods - return car to stock ? too much effort ? Repair does sound a bit costly - I'll check ETKA later to see what the components are and an estimate of cost.

Regards,

Gareth
