#1: Squeeling belt on full lock? Author: PezHdi, Location: ShrewsburyPosted: Mon Nov 24, 2014 5:42 pm ---- Hay guys.
Not very often I ask for help as I Can normally sort most my self but this time I would like some help just to sort out more of an annoying situation not a problem.
Basically when I'm turning the wheel on the car to full lock I'm getting a squeeling noise from my belt.
When this happens I notice that the lights on the dash and headlights dim slightly.
I'm guessing this is going to be because the car is loaded up and most of you will say the battry is on it's way out.
Iv tested the battey and it says it has a good life on my battey reader.
So want could he causing this?
Alternator?
Earlier on in the year I have replaced the fuel pump with a bigger one off a 2.2 hdi and removed the aircon, found a shorter belt which fit and fitted that.
Other than that I can think of anything else.
Any help would be kindly taken
Regards Pez

Was my first thought & had an identical problem when I first picked up my car which was solved by doing the pump and belt together.
If the above is the case then the lights shouldn't be dimming because of it surely.

Is there any way I can test the alternator as well?

Had a look today and I can't see anything else that's causing it.
#8: Re: Squeeling belt on full lock? Author: PezHdi, Location: ShrewsburyPosted: Wed Dec 03, 2014 5:25 am ---- Okay update.
Been busy this week so not really had chance to look.
does anyone no what type of power steering fluid the 2.0 hdi uses?
It needs topping up and I'm thinking maybe il change the lot while I'm doing it?!

#12: Re: Squeeling belt on full lock? Author: PezHdi, Location: ShrewsburyPosted: Wed Dec 03, 2014 12:09 pm ---- Yeah mate changed about a month ago when I removed the air con and the belt felt really really tight but it's worth checking.
does anyone no the part number for a non aircon 2.0 hdi.
Regards.
