What did you do to your mk6/7 today?

[Punto443]

Is it the egr doing its self clean cycle?
Like a sawing noise for 2secs?

Need to find the birds nest in the engine, seem to have a squeaking chirping kinda noise at idle, think its something to do with the alternator belt or pulleys

Bloody ford. N

I'll swap your chirping for my woodpecker

I've been getting that too Mate, sounds like be an idler pulley

Had to do me Land rover for same noise and that's what it was

That's a fair swap Mr Loot a chaffinch for a woodpecker

Blue vans are brilliant Mr Bambi they don't show up the rust or dirt and are practically invisible to all other road users

Its like playing Russian roulette every time I go out I the van, oh new noise will it get me there and back or will the evil thing up front fall out Back to work Tuesday so might have a looksy at it over the weekend. N

Its got me thinking alternator or pulley as I am having a strange electrical issue, with the lights on they dim with heated screen on or opening the window, closing the window takes forever unless I rev the engine a bit.

Had a quick look today and it looks an absolute nightmare on a fwd at least yours is easier to get too, the idler pulley doesn't sound too much of a job, is there any way of testing them To be sure its that. N

Mine's a FWD as well Mate, haven't got around to looking at the manual to see what I have to take off to get at it

No idea how you'd check it either. On the Landie, I'd had the belt off to change the crank pulley (sh1te job that was too ) and idler felt a bit floppy so I guessed and bought a new one and it fixed it......

Sorry, but that's not much help

I've got loads of jobs to do on it at the mo, oil, filters, PRV, SCV, front wheel bearing, not to mention sorting the bodywork out

Bloody canaries
Bloody tweeting
Bloody Ford

Got home from my Norway road trip today! 4,000 miles 6,500 km in 3 weeks.

Never missed a beat. Did sound like a box of hammers when I started it at -15c though.

Bloody ford, don't even give you something to complain about!

Loaded it up with front and back wheel arches and both sills. The big chop out and weld begins in the morning!!!

Started it... Two completely fooobared batteries and many cobwebs later. Mk6 --> Mk7 dash conversion electrics finally done. Just having trouble with the hi/low relay not holding. Otherwise, Yay. Hoover, dust & wash needed.

Got any proof?

Well got the dash all together and gave it a good wash down and polish. Just need to sort that hi/low beam latching...

Hmm not sure it's like a "Chaka Chaka Chak " As long as your Chaka sounds like my Chaka you'll know what I mean ...

Hmm could this be a feature game ? 'Name that transit fault by written sound'

You could start a thread about it "guess my fault, it sounds like........" "insert describing word here" N
