KP13 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 it doesnt do it all the time but ive just noitce that after ive been reving it for 5 mins there was a a liquid coming out of the exhaust not sure its its water or petrol from the exhaust as its been sat a few months, ive checked the oil and it seems fine no sign of water in the oil, ive checked the coolent and its on max, and theres no oil or water under the engine or on the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Liquid coming out of the exhaust will be condensation which is normal, some cars piss loads of when accelerating, usually fords.Go to youtube and check "fan belt noise" is it the same?

KP13 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 no i dont reckon its the belt, its really high pitched squeaking noise, but only comes on sometime and happens when its hot, but as i say its only comes on sometimes not everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP13 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 ah could be, it only makes the noise when the fan is going round, but i didnt think of that i just thought it was a water pump problem causing the fan to come on, but il give it a check tomorrow, thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 It's easy to remove, just 3 bolts.The casing has a few holes in it, give it the good news with some WD and re fit it.If you spin it hard by hand you should be able to feel/hear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
