rs2 PAS belt

[Eastcoastrs2]

I have had a slight squeal on start up and when first driving off in the rs2. There is also a strange noise I can't quite explain like a humming or whirring sound but off tempo like wha wha wha wha wha.

Me and a mechanic friend checked the belts today all seem tight. He then sprayed a small amount of lanolin based lubricant on each belt individually and when he did they PAS belt all the noises stopped completely. Timing and all auxiliary belts where done around 7 months ago so belts should be fine. Anyone had this problem? Looking for a more permanent fix than lubricating the belts.

The PAS belt does seem to be rubbing on the triangular bract that holds the plastic timing belt cover in place. Anyone know how to fix this?

Will have to double check but I am almost certain my PAS belt is toothless where as the images on s2central.com's timing belt renewal show a toothed belt.

I have a possible whirring noise that I think is coming from the belts. From memory, it was there before I recently had the timing belt done and it sounds sort of in time with the pulley spinning. I too think it might be PAS related, as I occasionally get a weird sort of groan that I can feel through the steering wheel slightly. I have always been convinced that it is PAS related but my mechanic says it all looks fine.

There are too many noises that can come from these engines for an uneducated fool like me to diagnose.
