Noisy??????
Just noticed (past week) since temp. dropped a whining noisy sound as soon as starting my 96 polo. Noise is more pronounced when car is cold, but can still be heard when warmed up. I tried to pin point where its coming from just from listening, and it seemed to be coming from the AC compressor, alternator area. Any ideas what it could be. Engine was resealed back in May, headgaskets in June, and svxfiles put on new drive belts. Could it be an idler pulley. Noise is present with or without AC/defrost on.
Thanks

Re: Noisy??????
I had that problem. It was the Power Steering Pump. The o-rings were shot. So i replaced the o-rings and it stopped.
Just an idea though. |

Re: Noisy??????
Oh now I remember. Its the AC idler pulley. I just took the belt until I can get a new pulley. Dont want it to seize up on me and snap a belt or go thru my timing cover. Thanks for the offer though. If I had the time, I would have you look at my 94 pearlie and hear all the exhaust leaks and drive it too.
