cheers odenne - rat boy
will see to the cap tomorrow,
don't suppose you know the spandanna size for the fan do ya yella? as i noticed the adjustable was to fat to fit down today
 
cheers odenne, will have a skeg at the local motor save tomorrow if i can get in the car park for all the nova's and saxo's!!
will keep you posted how i get on. the screeching is really ****in me off now i need to get it sorted-I'll start dreaming about the fooker soon!!!!
 
Then it MUST be sorted if it's gettin that bad!!!
I think Halfrauds do the spanner too - good luck and as always let us know what the prob does turn out to be, completion of a fred gives the seasoned LZers justification intelling the newbies to "do a search"!!!

hope that post will be coming soon! I've had loads of posts on here about it and had plenty of ideas and help and done loads of searching but to no cure, but this is the first i have heard of a header tank squeak or to bin the fan. so fingers crossed this could be the last that's said on the subject apart from the victory boast!
 
the dribbley cap is now bodged/fixed:)
got a spandanna but could i fook get the fan off!!
so while i figure a way to get it off Ive been told of another thing to try,
when i removed the egr i replaced the top hose with some steel pipe (actually a piece of bumper from a Morrison's fridge!) which had just about the right bend in it to line up the inlet with the intercooler.
someone has suggested that the noise could be the 'pitch' of the pipe - seens as it started when i cleaned the cooler and now more pressure running through it. so a 200 top hose it will be:)
 
eye, turning it the wright way-or the wrong way-if you get what i mean!!
backwards thread, the belt wont hold the pulley and i cant seem to wedge it and just turns

Normally the fans come off quite easily. You are turning it clockwise to get it off aren't you??

On my last Tdi 300, the first time I took it off it didn't want to play, so, using a lump hammer I gave the spanner a quick firm tap, which loosed it off fine.

Mine has remained off but I keep it in the car 'just in case'.
 
just keeping my options open,
if the fan removal and the acoustic hose theory brings no results dose anyone know of a non-ripoff garage that could take a look around Bradford? could do with getting this one sorted as i may have to tug a caravan at the weekend and don't really fancy it if i don't know what it is I'm hearing
 
Just to add another possibility. The exhaust manifold gasket squeals if it blows. Mine did and sounded horrible. Would only do it under load tho.........
 
mite b able to catch it on my phone but ill have to get r'lass to put it on here for me!
fan is now off, new top turbo hose, egr blank re gasket-ed, new belt(2nd time) new tensioner bearing, all hoses checked again.
cant afford to take it to a garage and cant change the water pump because of the rounded bolts! end of my tether now!!!!
