My MCS has been in to the dreaded BMW dealership and now sounds ill. During MOT they told me I really needed a new auxilary belt.
So I had it
Now on start up the engine squeels for a little while then goes away

It's not like a slipping belt more like a rubbing or vibration.

Also when turning the engine off you can hear it slowing down or a bit like a dyno???

i have recorded it but you cant hear how loud the squealing really is and i dont seem able to get it in a format i can upload to here

Any ideas??

Hiya - does anyone know how I attach a sound file to this post I do not seem to be able to work it out.
Have recorded this engine noise and want to share!!

It isn't possible. You will have to load it to a different service and then post a link to it. Sorry....

and if you cant do that and the file is less that 500KB then zip it up and post it

DaFlake · Jan 17th, 2008, 01:37 PM

Yes, you could do that.

Thanks for pointing that out.
