Unusual noise C5 mk11 1.6 hdi

Post by Bret Sinclair »

Did a service on my 2006 C5 hdi 1.6 110
Oil, filter,air filter, fuel filter, cabin filter, dpf and egr clean and a new lower crank pully. Since doing this I have noticed a weird noise when I pull away in first gear, like the first part of the noise a donkey makes ? If you are very slow to pull away, no noise, if quick to pull away, no noise but normal acceleration and it makes the weird noise. Noises associated with the lower pulley are non existent. Any ideas, cheers.

I wonder if when you fitted the crank pulley you did not tighten the serpentine belt correctly and its squealing a bit like you say a donkey LOL.

It could also be nothing to do with what you did and be the clutch - sometimes when you be nice to cars they complain!

May also be the freewheel/clutch on the alternator.

Thanks all.
Does seem to be something to do with the clutch.
Further investigation will follow.
