Me again lol...
As the title really,
Any ideas what it is? It drives fine but makes a hell of a whine...sounds like a supercharger tbh lol.
youtu.be/c0r0v4M8x28
I'm arguing with myself over what it is...
Turbo? But it boosts well and doesn't smoke at all.
Alternator? But it slows with the engine, whereas the whine 'hangs' for a bit.
PAS pump? Same as alternator, it should slow quickly.
AC pump? Don't think so as I turn the AC on half way through the vid and it makes no difference.
Car has done 85k miles, but been sitting for months due to a starting fault.
So what do you reckon the whine is?
Tom

Check your crank pulley. Common fault.

Hmm, I'm aware of the crank pulley fault (this is my 7th 2.0 HDi lol) but not heard one whine before, they usually knock? I was under the impression that the 206 got a solid pulley to stop it failing as well?

Doesn't sound like shaft bearing, more like a belt. Check your aux belt and timing belt.

How old is your car, going by the seats, no offence, yours would still be running the old design pulley, if original.
Remove the aux belt and see if the noise is still there. Only a 10 min job.

I now don't think its anything gearbox related as it's the same with the clutch engaged or disengaged.
I can't think how anything aux related would still be spinning once the revs drop though? As the whine hangs a few seconds after. Is it alright to run these with the aux belt off? I've only had pre-plex HDis so far and wasn't sure if running without the alternator would affect the BSI at all?
Car is a 52 plate, phase 1 I believe with frosted headlights. I didn't realise the older ones still used the rubberised pulley so thanks for the info. How can it whine though?
This is what happened to the one on my current HDi btw...it was only 18 months old! Don't buy pattern pulleys lol.

Well, it turns out I do have the newer style pulley, possibly original judging by the amount of rust on it lol.
I've also found the problem - its the alternator. Unlike previous HDi's I've had, the 206 alternator uses a one way clutch, meaning it over-runs slightly after the revs drop. But now I don't know if this is just normal alternator noise that would usually be masked by engine noise, or if there's actually a fault?

I've had these alternator clutch pulley's fail on some VW applications I've worked on.
Special tools needed to remove the pulley from the alternator due to the clutch, the tools are pretty cheap to buy.

Thanks guys, I thought it was a bit too loud to be normal lol.
It's looking like the 206 may not be staying with me now anyway, its got more faults than are worth fixing for me unfortunately, and the alternator pulley is another to add to the list lol.
