Can anyone help me here please:
At cold only, for about 5 mins until warm, I get what sounds like a cam belt squeek or from somewhere in that region. They canged the belt twice and also changed the water pump. Its pretty annoying not something you could ignore
Each time it comes backfrom services its better for about 2 weeks then it reverts to the same obvious squeek
Thanks

Not down to electrical load? Eg, lights on, air con on, window elements on, etc.... alternator belt.
Nope, only when cold enginge, all seasons. Occured pretty much from new
Spoke with Ford dealer and they say its the very long alternator belt
They also said its a common problem tthat is benign. But htehre is nothing they can do about it
Not sure if I should close the topic with them and accept it. I know it will be an issue when I come to sell
