Noisy pulley belt?

[jc_boc]

I have noticed my car is pretty noisy when started from cold. I think it's the pulley as it squeeks alot but stops when running temp is reached, i think, as I have not really checked that yet. Will do tonight actually. Is this ok or should I be doing something to fix it?

this could well be cam belt pulleys,mine did this till cambelt was changed,if youve not changed the cambelt yet get this checked ,i have heard of a few people getting this done under warranty too

mmm cars out of warranty and only done 40K. Will see if I can have one of my techs at work check it out.

JC mine was the cambelt tentioner, I ended up changing the belt early than reccommended to stop the squeek, not sure if it's the same noise as yours but here's my old thread

looks like thats your problem ,the belts are due to be changed every 4 years so at 40k you prob about right...mine needed changing at 42 mths 24k miles so i reckon youve done ok out of it..........

Thanks guys, I figured it would be the tensioner or something. Oh well, time to get a price on one then and get it sorted. tahnk good ness we have our own workshop so it will cost me waaaaaay less than taking it to stealers. Just more expense though which is annoying.
