Hi I'm hoping someone can help me, I have a Marea 2.0 20v Weekend.
When I start it up, 30 seconds will pass then a horrible whistling; crackling noise materializes from around the belt area. The noise has been around for about a year, but then it only seem to whine until the engine got warm, now it's constant and becoming rather worrying. The cam belt has been changed, and the car is performing as it should, but that g*d d*me noise is doing my head in and waking the neighbours. I'm just wondering if it could be the fan belt? I noticed ' Cukzta' (22.10.05) may of had a similar problem, won't was his verdict?
Many Thanks
