Hi,
Apologies for the possible daft question, but... I had new belts put on the RX7 Type-R about 1000 miles ago by Geoff at Re:Worx after they shredded whilst driving down to Geoff ar Re:Worx! :rolleyes: I have just noticed a pretty quiet squeeling coming from the furthest left wheel of what I think is the timing belt (the belt on the left hand side of the engine bay). It also squeels loud like your braking v hard in sharp burst intermitently. Does this mean the belts are failing or is there a simple solution? I really dont want to have to drive 150 miles back to Portsmouth if I can sort it at home.
Cheers everyone :wave
belts tend to stretch a little shortly after they have been fitted. It might be an idea to re-tension them.
It could also be the pulley wheel bearing, it may need replacing.
squirt just the belt with a small amount of WD40, if it stops the noise its just the belt. The other common problem is air pump failure I think.
thanks guys. A tiny squirt of WD40 and everythings a-ok! :) I was beginning to worry for nothing.
