[QUOTE="GasWombat, post: 167364, member: 235"] Tension$ Was having this squeaking sound in the past few weeks, so hopped over to Naidu to get it fixed. It was the drive belt and the pulley bearings that were worn out. They are located just behind the radiator in the E36, 6 potter. Left RM388 poorer. Tensioner pulley = RM145 Tensioner Elements = RM78 Fan belt = RM165 The el-cheapo belt at RM40 won't last and contribute to the squeaks as it wears out, so the one I got was as original and as lasting as you can get. parts sourced from Bavarian Auto stockist in SS2, PJ. BTW, I sometimes record car noises to help the mechanic better diagnose the problem. perhaps, it would help if such audio clips can be posted on the club forum to aid those facing similar issues. what do u say, Mr Admin? P/S: Naidu is shorthanded since one of his workers left. He's looking for an experienced chap in air-cond service. Better still if the fella knows general car servicing. [/QUOTE]
