Get a 15mm long spanner on it and pull towards you to see if it is free as it contains a spring load for the belt.
Whilst stationery, rev the car gently with bonnet open or get someone to do that for you and have a listen for the noise as that shouldn't make a ticking noise.
That engine bay looks different to mine as the battery is located behind the headlight and mine is located at the rear where your header tank is :confused:

As above though, most likely AUX pulley, tensioner or ALT.
I replaced my alternator a few weeks ago for a second hand one from ebay £20 with pulley, spins fine and bearings good too, at that price mad to buy new; easy DIY. :happy2:

I have found GSF car parts stock the original INA pulleys for a better price.

@scottymon. Funny you say that. I dont think so, the previous owner did change the battery and coil packs which I couldn't 100% understand why. The batt is a varta, nt sure of the rating

Are you losing any coolant?.
Possible timing belt tensioner rollers or water pump?.
Have you checked your fuel pump cam follower as it maybe showing signs of failure which will result in fuel pump failure or even worse cam lobe failure!!!
Good to check it all or try get someone to have a look.

Did a forte flush and filled with millers. She sounds great again except the standard chain sound. Fk knows when i can get around to this, but 46k so not worried yet.
I need a new lower engine mount as The oem rubber has split. Can i get the stock gti one from tps, or does anyone know of uprated better versions? Is there any other reason the mount could have gone on a 46k other then a good/hard life (must stay positive)

superpro dog bone insert, power flex or a vibra technics mount :smiley:

I took your advice on the engine/tranny mounts and ordered a pair aswell. The order is fked up as the tossers didnt even have them in stock and still let me order them. Long story short she turned 10 this weekend and all i could do was try n wash her between snowshowers. But she does look good :D

Glad you got one part sorted out at the least.
Tell me about it, someone :stupid: people out there just wanting your money and then having you wait and wait and wait ff* what a holes. :slap:
Did you order the vibra technics ones?. :jumping: and so jealous :-(
Post by: raz469 on May 02, 2016, 03:28:29 pm
I went for them in the bay and oem/ powerflex underneath. Im so broke its a joke but hopefully once i get my overhead light switch there nothing urgent and i can sit and squirm for a couple months knowing shes stock.
I ordered them well in advance and only when i phoned them did they tell me its another 3 weeks. I wouldn't have minded if they told me before i paid for them. Sometimes people just ruin it for eachother.
Anyway on my way out for some burfday drinks.
cheers pal

I shouldn't think they'd make it worse.
No I wouldn't say my car's better but thankfully all working apart from maybe the intake runner may need attention as I got a Mil light on last night so will see what happens when I next drive her.
I know the feeling when you've just spent mega change on car parts only to find out your not getting then because the seller is out of stock :mad: ow silly are they and you should have demanded a fund refund and gone else where tbh. I ordered off a perfermance company some years back and waited a full 10 days before I found out they didn't even know about the online order so demanded my money back even thought it took an extra 3-5 working days to clear after messing me about :stupid: bas*****.
Anyways have fun and don't drink too much red bull :signLOL:
