Start up

[James]

For about a month now i've beeng getting a really loud noise when i start the car up on a cold engine .. and it dosent go away until the engine get's warm. Today it got allot worse.. Basiclly gives a loud squeek like it's in pain :n:, when i put my foot down to accelerate it just get's louder.. Is this something i should worry about?.. it sounds like it's coming from the drivers side somewhere, cannot pin point the exact location.. what is it?

[bromi]

could it be your alternator belt slippin

[James]

Is that bad?...

[hesslevtr]

alternator belt

will just need tightening

could also be alternator pully bearing

[willsy]

Sounds about right, 2 minute job to tighten it.

If the belts fudged then its only £7 from Citroen for a new one :y:

[James]

kk thankyou, is this going to be a garage job or something i'll be able to do myself?

Edit: Thank's willsy :P

[bromi]
