Hi all,
Need some help on my 2006 Petrol 1.4l Berlingo.
About 2000kms ago had the timing belt, tensioner, and water pump replaced as a scheduled precaution. The van has done almost 200,000 kms.
Now it has suddenly developed a squeal in the timing belt area.
I initially thought it may be the aux belt or alt etc, but I have removed the aux belt so this eliminates, a/c power steer pump, etc.
Have taken off the plastic covers that cover the timing belt, and all auxiliaries are disconnected.
This is what you see and hear...

Can't see any discernable wearing, although the edge of the belt is brownish in spots.
When the engine is reved the squealing occurs and there is visible smoke whisps, but very difficult to identify where it is coming from.
The tensioner is an automated type with an indicator for correct tension, and it appears fine.
However I had the old tensioner so I swapped it in. (Followed all the procedures per manual, pins in flywheel and cam pulley, turned by hand and rechecked with pins etc)
But squeal occurs with old tensioner in place.
Running out of ideas, thinking it could only be water pump bearing ? But it is new, and when I had the tensioner off grabbing it didn't show any sign of play.
There is a small coolant stain at the weep hole but research says this is normal in the first 10 secs of fitting and bedding in of pump, there is no dripping here.
Any suggestions appreciated, I can't be the first person to have this problem.
