Hi.
Talking about faults on my wifes Mondeo [1], which is an easy conversation, anyone know of a common cause for this?
When cold the engine runs quietly, but as it heats up an irritating regular squeal eminates from the belt area.
It had the cam belt changed last year. I HOPE they changed the tensioner... it should be a part of the kit, no? But they're out of business now so no comeback.
I've listned to lots of accessable parts with the stick-held-to-the-ear trick. I can hear lots of 'normal' rushing things-going-round sounds but the squeal elude me. Lubricating the drive belt (with washing up liquid, not oil!) makes no difference.
I have a used power steering pump on the way from ebay on the off chance it may be that... but I don't think so in my heart.
So, common faults? Please? Thanks.
