UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Morning All,

New to the forum Andrew from RSA here...

Not sure if this has been discussed before if so please point me in the correct dirrection...

Has anyone experinaced a belt sound/wine from the right side of the engine bay?

I have looked at the serptine belt looks ok.... it dosnst sound like a bearing noise its sound like a belt sound and it gets lounder when reving the car(Moves with the revs)

Best way i can explain it would be if you have installed sound before in you car and laid the earth wire next to the battery you get a altenator feebdack wine.

if anyone has any ideas please assit here.

TIA
Andrew

That works okay, so anyone can listen to it, though I didn't hear anything nasty, just normal to me.

Hi Andrewvw8
Seems this website does not allow for video upload but the WeTransfer worked fine, I have the file. Is it more prominent under accelaration while driving or just is it just at idle?

I also see your vehicle is also stage 2 "ge-tune", just software or does it include hardware? Revo have finally launched their software and am keen to go stage 1 ECU and DSG, at a cost of ±$800.00 (± R12K).

When my 2008 Polo went in for a service it came back with a noticeable whine from the engine bay thoughtout the rev range while driving. Took it staight back and the mechanic was dumbfounded but conceeded the replacement part was at fault. I dont recall what part it was (bearing related) but it was located in and around the fan belt area as well. I am not a mechanic, sorry I can be of more help boet. Not sure where you located but if you in CPT then Barons N1 is the place to go. I have built a great relationship with the team over the last 20 years and can recommend them 100%. Ask for Rodeny, their service manager.
