Default The woes of R ownership

Can anyone tell me whats wrong here




when you hard accelerate on the road you can here a screeching noise like the supercharger belt is loose. Could it be supercharger bearings?

cheers

Mine done that last week ! Smoked the SC belt ! Mine was rumbling like yours , and was a broken coupler in the SC , as well as a crook front snout bearing .& slightly worn rear needle bearings . The kit in eBay was $150 for snout bearings and seal , two rear needle bearings , an upgrade fluid filled nylon coupler and SC oil .
Very easy rebuild . Bar the egr removal .
Remove the SC belt and spin it by hand and feel for back lash and rumbling , I'm sure I can hear both in the vid anyways!

The ticking in your case is one or more extremely loud injectors , if I were you I'd change the fuel filter an put an injector cleaner through the tank .

Before you do anything.

Remove the SC belt and drive the car. It will be very easy to tell where the noise is coming from. No problem driving without the SC belt.

If the noise is still there remove the other belt but DON'T drive the car. Just start it because that belt turns the water pump so you don't have any cooling. You just want to hear it for a short time to find the noise.
