New belts stretch and wear down a little. Settle down after a while. other car with old belt has never needs adjusting in 3 years but is just starting to slip

Hopefully spark plugs and a good service will help this a bit. If not, the battery was put in at the start of 2015, so it’s about the normal age of one to start having issues, at least in my experience.

Posts: 404 Thanks: 15 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: 2004 Panda 1.1 active - Whining issue? Changed the oil and filter this evening before it goes in for the cam belt and water pump tomorrow. After changing it all, I let it warm up a tad and then re-checked and the oil already looks a tad more brownish again. I suppose it needs a really good thrashing and then a couple of regular changes to clean it all up? Looks like there is a slight old leak from the gearbox as well, but on a car this age, I’m not gonna think about that..!!! (I may be wrong though, gonna clean it up and keep an eye on it)

I had a BMW bike that used a car type alternator and non-adjustable drive belt. To be fair that did make a racket one day, but the cause was alternator. The stator had corroded and split causing the rotor to foul. It went suddenly from from OK to not usable. When opened up, the belt was as fine with no signs of any slippage. The alternator was toast with a badly cracked case.
