Disco 300tdi aux belt squeak!
sub4x4:
well i spent several hours driving round trying to find were the noise is coming from ? belts not sure / turbo not sure but dont think it is /
as i noticed it all so comes from the rear underneath could it be the prop shafts. :?:

Easy way to eliminate wether its your belt or not is to carfully spray some WD40 or similar onto the belt with the engin running. The squeak will temporarily go away if it is the belt. Fixing it is more tricky!

ye tried that ? it wasnt as bad but again thats when i started to hear it coming from behind me ? which is y i think may be it could be the prop shafts . had simler prob on my 200tdi changed all the belt even changed the turbo lol and guess wot ? it was a knackered uj on the front prop but again ive checked these even though they differant to my 200 tdi they seem ok it wouldnt be the rubber thing at the back would it

Invested 1p in the Disco last night! Amazing no squeak, squeal or chirp at all, all the way into work. Top tip thanks guys.

Cheap baby powder(Tesco own brand to be precise) sprinkled on the belt usually cures mine for about a month!!
