After changing the thermostat and oil on the Stilo, I am near to the finish line however there is a very annoying squeaking/grinding noise coming from the pulley side of the engine.
Im guessing that its an idler with a knackered bearing.
Am going to change it but, while the covers are off, figure I might do the timing belt aswell.
Are there ANY decent guides anywhere for doing this engine?
Bearing in mind I don't have the expensive cam locking tools (£150) is this a viable home repair job?
Any help appreciated please.
Also, does anybody have a decent picture of the engine with the timing covers removed?
I think the squeeling/grinding noise is coming from the front of the engine.
Is this the water pump location? Its definately not the alternator.
