    Squeaky rattle by left end of intercooler.

    Can anyone give me a clue about this noise? Sounds like idler on the belt that goes from crankshaft pulley to waterpump. At least that is where I think the belt goes. When engine is idling there is a faint rattle from this area. Any ideas.

    I dont know that this belt has an idler so any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Have you tried spraying with WD40 or even water. It may just be a slightly noisy belt? If it goes away with lubricant I would not worry. It is only when cold or all the time?

    There is an idler pulley that can/should be changed at every / every other cambelt change too...

    Cheers,
