Whistling belt /pulleys

Postby Custom155 » Fri Sep 28, 2018 5:05 pm

Hi,
My 2014 155hp Limited 110k miles Tourneo has developed a whistling noise that appears to be coming from the belt / pulley area. Disappears a bit (and sometimes completely under load) and turning the a/c on or off makes no difference. The serpentine belt was replaced 6000 miles ago with a genuine Ford belt. There’s no warning lights on the dash. Had a feel of the belts and nothing appears to be loose or hanging off. Any ideas?

Cheers, James.

Hi,
Doing a bit of digging online and it seems to throw up the serpentine belt tensioner as a possible culprit.. Will keep looking. Anyone changed one of these? Hard to do?

James.

Hi,
Turned out to be the damped crankshaft pulley beginning to separate. Genuine one fitted at the local garage so back to a quiet engine again. I mean Transit quiet obviously...

Cheers, James.
