The last few weeks there has been a noise coming from the front of my 200 tdi motor. The noise sounds just like a belt slipping or rubbing so I though it must be either the power steering belt or the alternator belt but I took both of them off and it still made the same noise with no change. this has lead me to belive it must be the timing belt as that is the only other belt how ever I know it cant be slipping because its got teeth. The timing belt and tensioner are new as of 10 000 kms/ 6 months. I have already taken the timing case off and every thing looks normal apart from the belt seemed to me right up at the front edge of the tensioner and looked like it could be rubbing on lip of the edge of it so I set it back a bit and it seemed to stop the noise for a bit but now it is back. the noise only starts after running for a round 3 minutes form cold. does anyone know what could be wrong or knows what's happening ???
