Hi there,
This week I discovered another thing: when ideling at standing still my BX 1.4 engine sometimes makes a sort of whisteling/squealing noise which sometimes keeps on for quite some time. It sounds exactly like powersteering on some cars, but my BX knows no such luxury.
It makes no difference if the fan or the hydraulic pump cut in.
Can this be a sign of trouble ahead (timingbelt -last changed 5 years/22.000 miles ago and about to get changed coming winter- or the alternator about to give up the ghost) or is it merely the alternatorbelt or one of the pulleys?
