hi
i have a Citroen Multispace 2l diesel
i have a noise coming from the left hand side of the engin, around by the belts.
sounds like something rubbing or run dry, its 5 years old and 30000 on the clock.
could it be a lose belt??
thanks

Has one of the covers dislodged itself, so one of the belts rub on it...

Could be loads of things, rubbing noises are usually fairly easy to find...have you had a look?

its coming from by the cam belt housing,
as if something has come lose

If nothing obvious outside of the housing, perhaps a quick look inside...?
Not sure if its easy to see inside...probably not.

How about the tensioner on the alternator belt...i have noticed a faint rumble from the one on my van, different engine, but i believe a few bits are shared.

Hi thanks for the reply

i hope your right sounds like it may well be one of the things you said.
to much of a job for me i got no time (dark when i get home)
with only 30000 miles on clock i dont think its the engin.

thanks again

Get it checked out quick as if the cam belt comes off or breakes the engines toast.

Yes
soon as i can

Hi
well its gone off to be repaired
let you know what was wrong

Thanks
mick
