o dear, there's nothing else we can do about squeeky belts? I'm not into spending 1000 euro on replacing belts etc while it wasn't their time yet and will squeek anyways...

Maybe first identify the source of the squeak as replacing everything may be overkill. Spray some water on the running belt and if it stops the noise it's a worn or contaminated ( Oil or antifreeze) belt or a tensioner gone weak and you could get away with just replacing these. If it doesn't stop the noise then it's a pulley bearing (inc alternator bearing) which is going to be a more expensive and involved job. The difficult practical part is removing the fan and shroud to get access which is why people recommend replacing everything inc other 'service items' - waterpump, alternator and AC compressor if they can afford it in one hit to avoid having to do it again. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Thank you for the reply! My local garage guy indeed did the water test and the squeek dissappeared instantly. But indeed as you say to dive in deep and spend some time changing a belt makes me wonder if i should do it all so i will not be suprised by a tensioner issue in a few months …

For parts I found auto-doc.fr to be a good site. I used them when living in France and have also used their UK site when back in UK.
