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
Hogi-wan

When you had the cam belt changed, did they change the pulleys and tensioners?

Yes, the pulleys & tensioners were changed when the belt was replaced.
I Had the full job done at Research (Fiat) Nuneaton.

Excellent, I've just bought same belt grip & lubricate spray oil and it has seemed to have done the job.
Cheers.
 
I had the same problem on my 110 elx weekend.

Eventually found out that it was the tensioners pulley was out of alignment so it so pushing the bent out and stripping it.
