    Hi guys,

    Posted this on the FB group also, but just in case ppl read here that arent on there, thought I'd post here also. Any opinions on the issue here?

    Definitely sounds like a loose belt.

    Sounds like a belt I'd go around and check all belts first then go from there
    Cheers

    On the vid I was only running the Alternator Belt, so you reckon whip that off and see what happens?

    Oh and all belts were done less than 30k ago

    Don't need to take any belts off unless you have to.

    Check if any of them are loose by pushing down on them with your thumb. Whichever shows more deflection than it should (couple of cm) then tighten it and the noise should go away.

    Do it one at a time so you're not over tightening ones that don't need it.

    OK so whipped off the last belt.. No squeaking.. so thought i'd double check.. put the belt back on but still no squeaking... no doubt the noise will come up again, though I suppose its possible the belt just wasnt tight enough.

    man the sounds sweet when they dont sound like shit :)
