I've started getting a raspy/diesel engine noise around 1500/2000 revs and it sounds worse going round roundabouts :? I hate to say it but it does sound a bit like the very first time I had the tensioner problem. The last tensioner belt I had replaced was one of the new ones so I really hope it's not that again :( Any other ideas?

No idea Emma, I'm still trying to get the new tensioner :(

I'd get the dealer to check it over ASAP though :?:

Keep us posted :)

Possibly a stupid question, but have you checked the oil level? :geek:

I was worried about the oil level too. That's kinda odd making noise when it's turning. Make sure ya let us know what they find.

I've had to postpone my car until next week as I had to cover someone at work. But typically, I haven't heard the noise so much over the last few days :roll:

Car has been in today. Nothing showed up on the diagnostics and they couldn't hear anything when they took it out down the road :(
Since it's come back I seem to have a pedal operated fan, when I press the accelarator the fan speeds up in sync! :o
It's going back in 2 weeks to have the window motor thing replaced as that's gone too :roll:

I'll keep you posted.................
