Hi,
I have a 2001 Multipla Diesel JTD.
It started making a noise on tickover which sounded very like a tappet noise, but it disappeared when the revs increased above tickover. This also got louder when the steering wheel was moved, but again stopped if the revs increased. It seemed to indicate that the power steering pump was on he way out.
Yesterday I got an alternator warning up on the dashboard and it sounded worse. Also noticed a smell of rubber when I stopped (only drive is a short way). Looking in the daylight the drive belt is clearly not turning freely, so maybe something has seized. I am guessing it may be the power steering or another device driven by the same belt.
Can anyone help with suggestions as to how to identify what it is so I can get the right device bought in.
I haven't as yet got a manual for the Multipla, and need to find some good diagrams so I can see which wheel turns what. Are there some labelled diagrams on line I can use?
