Getrag Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've got a mouse in my engine bay and it runs away when it warms up...but not all the way a way. Anyway... Think its one of the many belts maybe feeling the strain? Im going to change the cambelt again soon so think I'll change all the belts in there while I'm at it. Which ones are there to change?

uk-rich Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 just done mine, my v belt tensioner idle wheel was squeeking like a bastard ! steve manley provided me with one that doesn't ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 How much was it please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilocruzy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 How much was it please? I would investigate further before spending in "possible" fixes if i were you... I had a squeel in the bay and i changed all belts and it still remained, it turned out to be a worn air con clutch pulley (i think thats how you call it anyway) There are a couple of other worn parts which could cause this type of noise, so better have it checked by a pro in my opinion.

uk-rich Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 yeah, as above, make sure you identify it correctly. the bearing had gone on mine. think they are around the £150 mark, you have to buy the whole tensioner, the wheel is not available on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Not unless you smash up the tensioner when you get it, rob the wheel and send the remaining part(icles) back for a refund right? I have the same problem and I'm convinced it's my aircon 'clutch' or whatever dilocruzys problem was. Turn the A/C on at startup and it squeals and squeals, turn it off, it squeals a little once and then disappears for good. Very strange. I booked it in with Chris Wilson a while ago but I don't think he found anything wrong with it. It just comes and goes at times. Only time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 my motor is also slightly squeaky when cold. The mr2 was the same, so I didn't think much of it tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Coolio, ill ask them to have a look when the cambelt is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Could be any of these: V belt V belt tensioner Power steering pump bearing Water pump Crank pulley - have the space checked between the inner and outer parts of the Pulley. I'll try and dig up what the space should be Edit - Found it: Thanks to Jake for suggesting a Dodgy Crank Pulley. A big thanks to Absxxxx for taking the trouble to put my car on a ramp and check the car out properly...indeed a dodgy crank pulley! The Pulley space on Abs's Supra is 1.35mm, on mines it's sticking out by 32mm!! This is also making the Aux belt go in a slight angle. Time to get a new Crank Pulley! Thanks guys, much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Everytime its raining mine squeeks and chirps but goes away after a few miles. Think it's the power steering pump on mine as it's coming from the top of the engine and turning the aircon on has no effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
