Title: GTI engine squeal when pulling away
Post by: gunnellgti on April 14, 2016, 11:33:46 am

Hi there just looking for a bit of advice. When i pull of from standing i get a strange squeal that sounds like some kind of belt. Doesn't do it if i put more revs on when pulling away. Does the same thing if i put it in too higher gear when going too slowly and accelerate. Anyone had any experience of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sam

@dazza (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10457) Is this a big job to get fixed price wise?

the pulley is not cheap test it first take the aux belt off, the alternator should free wheel one way.
