LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Oh good. The belt was done at 3000 mile ago but it is frayed on the side for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Did they do them all including cam belts does it say or just the Steering and aircon belts. I've seen cars people have bought private saying it's been done to find all they did was swap the two front belts over when we looked through the paperwork, and looked behind the covers they was worn. Not trying to scare you or anything just worth double checking with it being a new car and once scare proteninally over :D might as well do it all and get it out the way I can see you are wanting to do your best for the car too :) But it shouldn't have been frayed that would worry me a little on how well they was all fitted if its been done.

LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Has anyone else felt that if you accelerate hard as you pres The clutch and lose of accelerator the revs seem To stay there for a bit Too long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlag Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You must have taken the timing belt cover off at one end to see the belt. Can you see any writing on the belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Oh ok I'd say it will have most people wont go to the lengths of a forged receipt from a garage that I have ever seen :D . I'd say it might just be the air con but could be a number of things pulleys or pump. without really looking into it hard to say. but if you can only hear it with the bonnet lid open I wouldn't worry about that :D Haha might be the start of the clutch slipping :) But I'm not worrying you with anymore. It might be you're just getting used to the AWD too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBosh Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Has anyone else felt that if you accelerate hard as you pres The clutch and lose of accelerator the revs seem To stay there for a bit Too long? Yes I adjusted my driving style so i let off the throttle (short delay) then press the clutch in. Still smooth changes and still catches me out every now and again. Think it must be something to do with cable throttle as I haven't had one since I was 18 all been !Removed! drivebywire since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 There's no cam belt cover on it for some reason. The cars also a a head head gasket fitted . Guess that means rocket cover gasket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Are you on about two belts you can, both at the front of the engine ? and as for the the head gasket being fitted I'm not sure what it means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yes that what I'm on about. I found the previous owners number On a service document. He's a extremely rich bloke who has spent thousands on it. He said the water level has always sat that way. Apparantly it's had a cooler radiator which makes the engine colder than most, and he's had a better suspension put on it. So I feel a bit more happier now I spoke to him and I was on the phone to him for an hour so maybe it's the way it is maybe there was an airlock or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 right, the squeaking noise, is doing my head in. seems to be getting louder. Could it be clutch sqeal. cant see it being air con as the aircon is not on. Dont think its cam bearings as it had a full cam kit on 5000 miles ago.

BlackBosh Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 does your clutch judder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 No not that I can tell. I put it into 4th and 5 th around 25 miles an hour and floor it and there's no slip but just can't tell where it's coming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Right the belt's you are on about is for the power steering and the Aircon mate, so even if it's not on the belt still spins the aircon Cambelt is behind both of those with a black cover/case around it. I was was having bad visions then :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlag Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It sounds to me that you thought the expansion tank had to be full so you filled it, only to find it was down again the following day, so you filled it again.? If so, it should only be about 2 thirds full and it will expell the rest so that's normal. The belts that look frayed are either the air con or power steering belt, not the timing belt. The squeal you hear is probably the frayed belt rubbing on something or a pully squeal. I don't think you have anything to worry about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yes I kept filing it up to the full mark the. 2 days later it was down again I know it's nothing to worry about but sqeals but really annoy me. Oh well I'll get it sorted whenever thanks for all the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 No problem mate it's fine to have concerns I don't mind trying to help people that are doing there best with little to no knowledge when I can, when I can see you are doing your best to make sure you are doing your best :) And Big thank you to Tlag again always there to give advice. Appreciated far more knowledgable than me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 last night after a right damn hard drive water level was the same, it was only this morning when I checked after the car was off all night its gone down a bit.

Gambit Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah I'd say that's normal mate as I said before with the pressure build up more when you give it some beans. then over night settles again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The cars also a a head head gasket fitted . Guess that means rocket cover gasket? No they are different - the head gasket goes between the head and the engine block, normally metal, the rocker cover gasket is normally a piece of rubber that goes between the head and the rocker cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 no, i know they are diffrent, i mean what does it mean by header head gasket, thats what the receipt says for work done at 40,000 mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I would hazard a guess at the head gasket being the gasket between the head and engine block, although not sure. Might be worth a quick call to the garage that did it and seeing if they remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 I could try but it was 2009 so i doubt the person would remember thats if hes there still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That is a bit doubtful then unless they keep all work on a database of some sort. Call the previous owner maybe? Having said what I said before I would expect a metal gasket to last more than 40,000 miles. But as said above everything seems normal with the car so wouldn't worry about it too much.
